Abstract
We present simulations of magnetized Herbig-Haro flows of low-mass stars. These slightly overdense jets propagate with about 300 km/s through the inner part of a molecular cloud. The magnetic field is injected from the central star and evolves a complicated time-dependent structure driven by pinch and kink modes. The high spatial resolution achieved on the NEC SX-5 provides for the first time insight into the phenomenon of current filamentation and the complex internal structure of pinch and kink modes.
