    Description
We calculate spatial string tension in 2+1 flavour QCD in (3,1)
dimensions within temperature range of [166MeV, 1000MeV] using spatial
Wilson Loops with HYP smearing. We used Highly Improved Staggered Quark
action for
fermions and tree level Symanzik improved gauge action for gluons at two
lattice spacings corresponding to temporal extent $N_{\tau}=8,10$.  We
then compare our results with dimensionally reduced effective theories
at high temperatures ( EQCD and MQCD) to test the onset of dimensional
reduction in QCD.
