Scientific paper

Observations of downflows in flares and of the filamentary nature of flare loops suggest that some flare reconnection occurs in bursts and patches rather than in continuous, steady sheets. This presentation will discuss simulations of such patchy reconnection in Harris and Y-type current sheets. The role that various anomalous resistivity models can play in spontaneously creating such patches of reconnection will be studied. The formation of three dimensional transient shocks in the resulting reconnected fields will be explored. Finally, the propagation and extension of these reconnection patches will be studied and compared against observations of the propagation and extension of observed flare ribbons.
