A series of numerical simulations are presented for formation of solar prominences. We have investigated the dynamic and thermodynamic evolution of coronal plasma in response to photospheric horizontal motions. In three different setups of field configurations and footpoint motions, different types of prominences are found to be formed by thermal instability.
