Direct calculation of steady-state hydrodynamic solar wind solutions with newtonian viscosity
Roger B. Scott, Stephen J. Bradshaw, Mark G. Linton +2
Steady-state solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations are known to admit solutions that are singular at the sonic point. Consequently, inviscid solar wind models require special tr…

Simulation of Thermal Nonequilibrium Cycles in the Solar Wind
Roger B. Scott, Jeffrey W. Reep, Mark G. Linton +1
Thermal nonequilibrium (TNE) is a condition of the plasma in the solar corona in which the local rate of energy loss due to radiation increases to the point that it cannot be susta…
