Scientific paper

The paper analyzes the fluid dynamical models that have been constructed to describe the solar wind since Parker's (1958) first model. A brief historical development of the subject is sketched, and an account is given of the gross properties of the solar wind medium. Based on certain simplifying postulates, the fluid equations of continuity, momentum, and energy are given for the idealized solar wind. Parker's polytropic model is presented, followed by an analysis of the various models incorporating thermal conduction. Viscous and two-fluid solar wind models are examined. A discussion of the applicability of the hydrodynamic regime to the solar wind is finally given.
