The hydrodynamic and radiative responses of a preflare solar loop atmosphere to a short (5 second) burst of energy in the form of energetic nonthermal electrons are modeled. Energy fluxes in the calculations range over values suggested by observations. Previous hydrodynamics flare calculations are improved by taking into account optically thick losses in the flare chromosphere, by spatially resolving the flare transition region, and by self-consistently accounting for conductive flux saturation. Major conclusions are presented.
