Scientific paper

The main requirements of solar flare models that explain their development in terms of an appropriate sequence of plasma instabilities are discussed. This sequence is characterized by a 'preheating phase' of the local chromospheric plasma, a 'flash phase' resulting from an explosive instability leading to particle acceleration and onset of plasma turbulence, and in the case of large flares by a 'hot phase' in which a significant amount of magnetic energy is converted into plasma flow and thermal energy. The relevant evolution of the electron distribution function and the two-dimensional flow and magnetic field configurations that can be consistent with the above-mentioned model are considered.
