The objectives of this research are twofold: to understand                 dynamics and energy transport in the impulsive phase of flares,                 and to understand the origins of flare energy.  Specifically, the               aim is to: further understand gasdynamics and radiation transfer                in the chromosphere during the impulsive phase of flares; develop               diagnostics of energy transport in the impulsive phase of flares                which are applicable to H alpha observations; ascertain what can                and cannot be learned from vector magnetograms and examine                      methods for the extrapolation of force-free magnetic fields from                such data; study the stability of preflare coronal magnetic                     fields and the role of MHD instabilities in flare initiation;                   investigate the interaction of sub-photospheric flows with the                  footprints of coronal magnetic field lines, to determine the                    source of flair energy.                                                              The investigators will attack these problems theoretically,                using both analytic and numerical techniques applied to the                     gasdynamic, radiation transfer, and magnetohydrodynamic                         equations.                                                                           The work on chromospheric flare dynamics and force-free                    fields will assist in interpreting data from ground-based solar                 optical telescopes during the solar maximum of 1991.  Studies of                flare energy generation touch on fundamental questions relating                 to the solar dynamo and the solar cycle, and will suggest                       observational tests of flare mechanisms.
