Interplanetary Space, Dynamics, Coronal Magnetic Field
Scientific paper
A concise introduction is given into dynamical processes occurring in interplanetary space. The coronal magnetic field and the heliospheric current sheet are described. Following the Parker model, the concept of the solar wind is outlined and observations of the three-dimensional solar wind are presented. The heliospheric magnetic (spiral) field is explained. Then structures and flux ropes in the wind, and waves and turbulence are discussed, in particular Alfvénic fluctuations, magnetosonic waves and shocks. Shocks and corotating interaction regions are illustrated. Then we concentrate on large-scale stream dynamics, leading to collisions and merging of different flows, which may form compound streams and corotating shells of high pressure. The basic elements of solar-wind and MHD theory are developed. Ample references are provided to the reader for further in-depth study of the subjects discussed.
