A stellar flare model in which the main energy release is located above the chromosphere based on a set of elementary acts of the electron acceleration or impulsive heating of plasma is discussed. The response of the chromosphere to impulsive heating for both a single burst and the simultaneous effect of a set of the bursts is considered.

The results of numerical modeling of the process of explosive evaporation of the stellar chromosphere allow us to select 3 classes of EUV emission source: (1) the bursts of the EUV emission in the temperature range of 3 · 104 – 3 · 105 K at the beginning of each of elementary act of the energy release; (2) the bursts of the EUV emission at temperatures T ≈ 106 K, accompanied by outflow of heated plasma; (3) the EUV emission, caused by new features of the process, namely, when the maxima of the distribution of the pressure are forming in the region of the downward-moving thermal front.

The properties of the EUV sources, velocities of the plasma motions therein, and possible behaviour of the light curve for an elementary burst are discussed.
