A global MHD model is developed to reproduce Ulysses observations during its fast latitude transition in 1994-1995. The governing polytropic single-fluid MHD equations are solved for a steady coronal outflow. The model includes Alfvén wave momentum and energy addition into open field regions. We combine a solution for a tilted dipole magnetic field in the inner computational region (1-20 Rsolar) with a three-dimensional solution in the outer region which extends to 1 AU. The inner region solution is essentially the same as in [1], but obtained with a different numerical algorithm and rotated to match the inclination inferred for the solar dipole from observations during the Ulysses transversal. The steady solution in the outer region is constructed by a marching-along-radius method and accounts for solar rotation. We show that the simulated variations of plasma and magnetic field parameters and in particular the extension of slow wind belt agree fairly well with the Ulysses observations.
