Abstract
The effect of impulsively turning off the dissipation in an existing m odel for energy propagation through Alfvenic fronts into the coronal s ite of energy release in a solar flare is examined. In the optimum cas e of impedance matching, the flux tube re-stresses on a much longer ti mescale than it relaxes, suggesting an explanation for the timescales observed in homologous flares.
