Combining the MHD equilibrium equation of axisymmetric plasma with a flux sur-face-averaged description of the plasma, the evolutional configurations of adiabatic com-pressional plasma equilibria are computed. The results are consistent well with the analytic scaling laws given by Furth and Yoshikawa. Some results of the configuration evolu-tion for two types of compressional plasma are presented.
