The expected decrease in solar-wind velocity due to the effect of the radial galactic-cosmic-ray gradient and the process of charge transfer from solar-wind protons to interplanetary neutral hydrogen is computed. The relative galactic-cosmic-ray modulation is determined in the framework of nonlinear cosmic-ray modulation theory. Numerical solutions are obtained which indicate that the heliocentric distance at which the solar-wind velocity decreases by an order of magnitude is highly dependent on the cosmic-ray kinetic energy density and that the dependence of the transport mean free path for cosmic-ray particle scattering on heliocentric distance also strongly affects the change in solar-wind velocity.
