Extract

Parker realized that the solar corona would expand into a supersonic wind, whose flow could be described by hydrodynamics. Subsequently a number of such steady state models have been developed which include the energy transport equation. These models assume that the heating of the gas is confined to a thin shell at the base of the corona, but neglect the effects of solar rotation and the general magnetic field, which is carried into space by the solar wind.
