Scientific paper
A model for the energetics of solar flares by Melrose (1997) is based on magnetic reconnection between two current carrying magnetic loops. A detailed numerical investigation of the model has been made to identify those configurations which lead to energy release in a flare. Our results predict a strong relation between the ratio of currents in the interacting loops for a favoured flare configuration, and provide further support for a proposed method of generating long loops connecting different active regions. Both of these predictions are amenable to observational verification.
