Scientific paper

A parameter study of conductive models of the solar wind is presented which considers collisionless inhibition of thermal conduction, rapidly diverging flow geometries, and the structure of solutions for the entire N(0)-T(0) plane where N(0) and T(0) are the coronal base density and temperature respectively. Emphasis is placed on analyzing the complex effect of the physical processes operative in conductive solar wind models. Several interesting results determining the effects of both collisionless inhibition of thermal conduction and rapidly diverging flow geometries are obtained and an upper limit on the coronal base temperature is described. In addition, a region, not previously considered, is defined as a region of the N(0) and T(0) plane at high coronal base densities where low-speed, high-mass-flux and transonic solar wind flows exist.
