This research studies the flow of plasma inside a coronal loop in which an injection of plasma through the lateral surface is permitted. The flow is assumed steady and polytropic. The problem covers two cases: (a) upflow at one footpoint, downflow at the other; (b) downflow at both footpoints. The

It is now known that the corona is filled with a multitude of loop-like structures. The likelihood of these loops being in static equilibrium is small and so this paper explores the possibility of steady isothermal or adiabatic flows, driven by a pressure difference between the loop feet. For a symm
Current dissipation models of coronal loop heating are studied. Turbulent current dissipation is shown to lead to a time dependent process because of an enormous mass motion induced in the current layer. A stationary heating process involves only ohmic heating, which requires a large current layer.
