Intercomparison of numerical flare-loop models during the NASA-SMM Workshop series on solar flares
Abstract
The flare numerical modeling activity at the Solar Maximum Workshop represented the dedicated efforts of several individuals and substantial computer resources of their respective institutions. Whereas the original intent of this undertaking was to establish a benchmark reference calculation for a standard coronal loop configuration, in retrospect one can say that its true value was to demonstrate that none of the existing codes is without limitations. The author shows how difficult it is to intercompare the results obtained with diverse and highly complex computer codes.
