A model of the sheared magnetic field in a coronal loop is used to evaluate the average cross-field suppression of axial thermal conduction. If the energy source is uniform in radius, this can lead to heat-flux reduction by a factor greater than three. When the source is annular, in a region of radi

A simple model facilitates calculation of the influence of magnetic field configuration on the conduction cooling rate of a hot post-flare coronal plasma. The magnetic field is taken to be that produced by a line dipole or point dipole at an arbitrary depth below the chromosphere. For the high tempe
A systematic study of the effects of thermal conduction and radiation (Cox-Tucker type) on the dynamic response of a coronal loop is presented. The study is based on a one-fluid hydrodynamic description of a magnetic flux loop subject to a sudden localized heating, simulating the flare energy releas
