Abstract

A two-fluid model of the solar wind was introduced by Sturrock and Hartle /1/ (see also /2/). In these studies the heat conduction term was neglected in the proton energy equation. The full two-fluid solar wind equations with proton heat conduction were solved by Durney /3/, Couturier /4/, and Cuperman et al./5/. but most of the results are for relatively low coronal base densities and high coronal base temperatures. Here we present a method for integrating the two-fluid solar wind equations, which is applicable to a broad range of coronal base densities and temperatures.
