Computer simulations study the temporal dynamics of magnetic reconnection in a current sheet system under a continuous local plasma injection imposed on the inflow boundary. The basic reconnection process is strongly influenced by the resistivity model. For a uniform resistivity model, the field lines become flattened with time so that the resulting quasisteady configuration involves a long diffusion region and the reconnection rate strongly depends on the resistivity, in good agreement with the Sweet–Parker mechanism. For an anomalous resistivity model, magnetic reconnection drastically occurs, leading to development of a large‐scale plasmoid. Once an effective resistivity is triggered, a quasisteady fast reconnection mechanism spontaneously develops even in the absence of the specified boundary condition, in good agreement with the spontaneous fast reconnection model. When the imposed plasma injection is larger than the one inherent to the spontaneous fast reconnection mechanism, the fast reconnection m...
