Top left: proton (solid line) and electron (dashed line) temperature along the loop semi-circular length; top right: proton velocity (solid), is near-zero and wave amplitude (dashed) appears to remain constant (i.e. little dissipation); bottom left: electron density; bottom right: wave pressure (top plot) and combined electron and proton pressure (bottom plot).

Figure 7: The temperature ( top), heating rate ( middle) and density ( bottom) progression of a L=600 Mm loop through the driving scales of l=60 (solid line), 200 (dotted), 500 (dashed), 2000 (dot-dash) and 8000 km (triple-dot-dash). The solid line represents the start of the simulation. Temperature inversion, footpoint, non-uniform, maximum temperature and quasi-uniform heating profiles are all evident. |
