Scientific paper
An assessment is presented of recent advances in solar wind theory which fall into the categories of hydrodynamical large scale and kinetic descriptions. The former, applying to phenomena whose scale is greater than that of shock and stream structures, provides a general understanding of the coronal expansion into space as well as the relatively slowly varying macroscopic properties of the solar wind. Attention is presently given to the specific case of the time-dependent solar wind. The latter category clarifies the role which collective interactions, through the wave-particle interactions, have on the physical processes which occur in the weakly collisional solar wind. These include energy and momentum transport, coupling among various particle species and relative energization, and relaxation of the otherwise large particle velocity anisotropies.
