Abstract
Dynamics of blobs described by two different models for the closures of parallel plasma current is studied numerically. One of these closures describes the blob sitting on magnetic lines going in the scrape off layer through the conducting surface, while the other one describes the blob with high plasma pressure where the bending of magnetic field lines becomes important.Keywords
