Thermodynamic Evolution of Flaring Loops with Non-local Thermal Transport
Hot solar coronal loops, such as flaring loops, reach temperatures where the thermal transport becomes non-local. This occurs when the mean-free-path of electrons can no longer be assumed to be small. Using a modified version of the Lare2d code, we study the evolution of flare-heated coronal loops under three thermal transport models: classical Spitzer-Harm (SH), a flux-limited local model (FL), and the non-local Schurtz-Nicolai-Basquet (SNB) model. The SNB model is used extensively in laser-pl…
