=== Tuesday @ 3:30 p.m. ===

== Thermal Structure: Theory ==
 
===== Leader: Harry Warren =====
This will be a session on the forward modeling of active region emission. 

* Brief Talks on the Current status of Forward Modeling (30-45 minutes total)
  . ''MHD modeling'', Zoran Mikic 
  . ''Hydrodynamic Modeling'', Robert Walsh 
  . ''Hydrostatic Modeling'', Harry Warren
* Discussion (60-45 minutes total)

We will address several lines of questioning during the discussion:
 . When will we be able to model the field, add atmospheres, compute emissions, and compare with observations? 
 . Is that likely to succeed in the coming few years as a routine procedure? 
 . Will it stay a research-grade and time-consuming thing for years to come? 
 . If we succeed, how do we go about learning from that? 

We will also consider the various inputs to this modeling (such as
magnetic field extrapolations or the instrumental temperature response
functions) and consider if the MHD and hydrodynamic modeling has any special
needs that need to be addressed before the data pipelines are completed.
Finally, we will also discuss the status of various MHD and hydrodynamic
codes.
