De Groof et al. '98 [1] and '00 [2] studied the time evolution of fast magnetosonic and Alfvén waves in a coronal loop driven by radially polarized footpoint motions in linear ideal MHD. Footpoint driving seems to be an efficient way of generating resonant absorption since the input energy is mainly stored in body modes which keep the energy in the loop. The most important feature in this study is the stochastic driving of the loop. While in earlier models with a periodic driver or a single pulse, the loop is only heated at one single layer, we now find multiple resonance layers which results in a more globally heated loop. Moreover, these resonances (created on a realistic time scale) have length scales which are small enough to explain energy dissipation. An important aspect to take into account is the mass transfer between corona and chromosphere since the density becomes time dependent and consequently, the resonant surfaces shift throughout the loop [3]. Combined with the multiple resonances we found in the previous study, this result can lead to the globally heated coronal loops we observe. .
