I. Zouganelis, N. Meyer-Vernet, S. Landi +2
One of the basic properties of the solar wind, that is the high speed of the fast wind, is still not satisfactorily explained. This is mainly due to the theoretical difficulty of t…
A transonic collisionless model of the solar wind
I. Zouganelis, M. Maksimovic, N. Meyer-Vernet +2
Because of the semi-collisional nature of the solar wind, the collisionless or exospheric approach as well as the hydrodynamic one are both inaccurate. However, the advantage of si…
