✦ Synopsis

The thermal statics of constant pressure coronal loops is discussed, with particular emphasis on non-equilibrium and scaling relations. An analytical solution showing explicitly the occurrence of non-equilibrium in radiation dominated loops is presented. In addition, the general scaling law for hot loops is given. However, in view of the uncertainties in the coronal heating function and the observational determined loop parameters, it is suggested that scaling laws are currently of limited value.

We have studied the radiative stability of thermally isolated coronal loops with free-flow boundary conditions by nonlinear numerical simulation. We first establish a chromosphere-to-corona loop equilibrium (including the option of a deep chromosphere) by following the nonlinear evolution from an in

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.

The evolution of coronal loops in response to slow photospheric twisting motions is investigated using a variety of methods. Firstly, by solving the time-dependent equations it is shown that the field essentially evolves through a sequence of 2-D equilibria with no evidence of rapid dynamic evolutio
