Siphon Flows in Stratified Coronal Loops
Abstract
The authors have developed a detailed siphon flow model for coronal loops. They find scaling laws relating the characteristic parameters of the loop, explore systematically the space of solutions and show that supersonic flows are impossible for realistic values of heat flux at the base of the upflowing leg.
