The effect of a strong protostellar wind on a dense molecular cloud with a magnetic field is investigated by time-dependent magnetohydrodynamic calculations which take into account the cooling due to H2 molecules as the dominant one. The shocked region obtained here seems to be responsible for the formation of the bright H2 emission with a high-velocity width observed in the Orion-KL Nebula.
