Intercomparison of numerical models of flaring coronal loops.
Abstract
The numerical modelling group was concerned with computations relevant to the problem of the hydrodynamic and radiative response of a single magnetic flux tube to a sudden release of energy in it. The group initially considered a simple "benchmark model" in which the physics of real loops - radiation, thermal conduction, compressible hydrodynamics, gravity and nonthermal heating - could be incorporated with some degree of realism. The primary goal of the benchmark model was to intercompare code calculations on a standardized, although hypothetical, problem, rather than to establish the best possible physical model.
