Notes. From left to right the columns show the case number and heating location, the total length of the loop, the maximum heating rate, the duration of the heating pulse, the maximum averaged temperature attained by HYDRAD (in single fluid mode) with the largest grid cell of width 400 km and 12 levels of refinement employed, LareJ (computed with 500 grid points along the length of the loop with the jump condition employed) and Lare1D (computed with the same spatial resolution as the LareJ solution but without the jump condition employed) and their respective coronal averaged densities at the time of the HYDRAD peak density. Cases 1–4 are the equivalent of Cases 3, 5, 9 and 11, respectively (in terms of the total energy released) that were studied previously in Paper I. fp1 and fp2 heating refers to symmetric footpoint heating concentrated at the base of the corona and base of the TR respectively, while afp1 and afp2 heating are the asymmetric footpoint heating counterparts where the energy is released only at one loop leg.
