We summarize key problems in our understanding of energy release in solar flares, as addressed by participants in a recent workshop. These problems fall into three broad areas: (i) Transport and thermalization of energy, (ii) acceleration of particles, and (iii) origin and effects of mass motions. W

A laboratory simulation method is proposed for energy release processes occurring in a fragment of the flare current sheet on the Sun. The method relies on the assumption that the spatial scale of such processes is represented by the current sheet's thickness whose values can be close for both the s
Flare phenomena in the solar atmosphere and in the terrestrial magnetosphere exhibit many similarities. The mechanical energy of enhanced photospheric motion is converted and stored in the form of magnetic potential energy in sunspot fields, which is analogous to the case of the growth phase of magn
The possibility is investigated that the plasma turbulence used in many recent models of the primary energy release and acceleration in solar flares should be detectable by radiation near the fundamental and second harmonic of the plasma frequency. Formulae are derived for fundamental emission due t
