Scientific paper

We present simulations of buoyant magnetic flux ropes emerging from the convection zone into the corona and analyze the subsequent heat flow along the coronal loops. We use the convection zone model of Fang et al. (2010) that has been extended from 21 Mm below the photosphere to 21 Mm above. This model evolves the single-fluid magnetohydrodynamic system and includes coronal heating, radiative cooling, and a tabular equation-of-state for the ionization, excitation, and Coulomb interactions. We have now also added the electron thermal heat conduction to more accurately describe the solar atmosphere above the photosphere and the thermodynamical response during the flux emergence. We compare the simulation results with images of the AIA instrument onboard SDO and in particular focus on the fast thermal heat transport along loops seen in these images. Moreover we will address the alignment of the hot coronal loops.
