โœฆ Synopsis

The amount of energy released during a solar flare and the relatively short timescale in which all the flare associated events occur lead to the conclusion that a solar flare is a magnetohydrodynamic instability taking place in a strongly turbulent plasma.

The main effect of the plasma turbulence is the strong reduction of the electrical conductivity resulting in a rapid heating and expansion of the flare plasma. The acceleration of particles during these processes can be understood with present day knowledge of non-linear plasma physics. The advantages of supertwisted flux tube as a model field configuration for a solar flare are discussed.

A statistical investigation has been made about the flare-process in relation to the photospheric magnetic field and configuration. It is understood from the analysis that the flare energy bears a linear relationship with the rate of change of flux of the longitudinal component of photospheric magne

The extent to which the early phases of solar-flare development can be accounted for by a simple high-temperature chromospheric explosion model is investigated without involving a particular energy source. A model is developed in which it is shown that a point explosion in the lower chromosphere can

It is suggested that, in Petschek's model of magnetic field annihilation, plasma which flows through the boundary layer where its magnetic energy is released is rendered highly turbulent by current driven electrostatic instability. This leads to a physical insight into the mechanism of dissipation,
