In this paper solar coronal loops are regarded as regions of localized current flows. The main purpose is to investigate the consequences of current confinement rather than to produce a model. The physical and observational basis for this assumption are presented as well as the connection with previ

The theory of ideal magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in cylindrical geometry is used to study the steady-state structure of a coronal loop. The pressure profile is derived from MHD equations by representing the velocity and magnetic fields as the superposition of Chandrasekhar-Kendall functions. Such
We investigate the limits of applicability of the Spitzer-Harm thermal conductivity in solar coronal loops and show that the ratio 2o/1. r of electron mean-free path to temperature scale height in large-scale structures can approach the limits of the Spitzer-Harm theory. We use a non-local formulati
A longitudinal stability is considered for the quasi-steady current sheet which is uniform along the current. In the MHD approximation, the stability problem is solved for the plane neutral sheet and small disturbances propagating along the current. The current sheet is shown to break-up into the sy
