Scientific paper

There is a building body of evidence that the loops we observe with current instrumentation actually consist of many sub-resolution elements. Hence, this paper presents a ``global loop'' as 125 individual plasma strands where each strand is modelled independently by a one-dimensional hydrodynamic simulation. The energy release mechanism across the strands consists of localised, discrete heating events (nanoflares) and the strands are ``coupled" together through the frequency distribution of this energy input which follows a power law distribution.The dependence of the global loop temperature upon the power-law index is investigated and the implications of these results upon future observing campaigns is discussed.
