The dynamic response of the corona to finite-amplitude perturbations in the presence of a spherically symmetric adiabatic single-fluid solar wind is analyzed to illustrate the proper method of specifying such perturbations in a subsonic flow regime for a mixed initial- and boundary-value problem. Basic equations are presented which form a system of hyperbolic partial differential equations. It is shown that information traveling toward the sun must be accounted for when introducing finite-amplitude perturbations at a boundary in a subsonic flow regime to simulate solar events, and that this information leads to a compatibility relation that must be satisfied by the perturbation variables at the boundary. A procedure for introducing this relation in numerical simulations is outlined, and numerical examples are used to demonstrate that discontinuities may be formed at the boundary if the perturbations do not satisfy the compatibility relation. It is found that erroneous conclusions regarding the relationship between solar events and interplanetary disturbances may be inferred if the perturbations are not located in the subsonic flow region and if the compatibility relation is neglected.
