Scientific paper

A two-dimensional simulation of a solar flare is performed using a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code including nonlinear anisotropic heat conduction effect. %The numerical simulation starts with a vertical current sheet %which is line-tied at one end to a dense chromosphere. The flare energy is released by the magnetic reconnection mechanism stimulated initially by the resistivity perturbation in the corona. The released thermal energy is transported into the chromosphere by heat conduction and drives chromospheric evaporation. Temperature and derived soft X-ray distributions are similar to the cusp-like structure of long-duration-event (LDE) flares observed by the soft X-ray telescope aboard Yohkoh satellite. Density and radio free-free intensity maps show a simple loop configuration which is consistent with the observation with Nobeyama Radio Heliograph.
