Solar eruptions are important drivers of space weather through particle acceleration, flare-induced coronal heating, and the interaction of the ejecta with the Earth's magnetosphere. Magnetic reconnection is believed to be the key driver of these eruptions and their associated flares, and recently the combination of high resolution solar observations and high performance computing has allowed us to make breakthroughs in understanding how this reconnection proceeds. I will present simulations of the coronal reconnection and flaring which occur behind these eruptions, focusing on localized, three dimensional reconnection in a post-eruption current sheet. I will show how the resulting reconnected fields can form evacuated coronal downflows, hot arcades of post-eruption loops, and photospheric ribbons of H-alpha flare emission, as observed by solar missions such as SOHO, TRACE, STEREO and Hinode.
