A two dimensional MHD code is used to study the nonlinear evolution of the Parker instability in isolated horizontal magnetic flux imbedded in (or below) the solar photosphere. It is found that the magnetic loop expands self-similarly in the nonlinear stage. Numerical results explain many features observed in emerging flux regions.
