Slow photospheric motions can produce flow speeds in the corona which are fast enough to violate quasi-static evolution. Therefore, high-speed flows observed in the corona are not necessarily due to a loss of equilibrium or stability. In this letter we present an example where the flow speed increas

The high degree of symmetry often assumed in studies of the structure and stability of coronal magnetic field configurations is restrictive and can yield misleading results. We have therefore developed fully three-dimensional numerical methods for constructing force-free equilibria and for examining
Coronal electric currents are superposed on the calculated large-scale current-flee (potential) magnetic field of the solar corona and the new magnetic configurations are mapped. The results indicate that relatively large coronal electric currents are required before significant topological deviatio
