The mechanism producing the nonthermal heating is the fluid-like modified two-stream instability, which, since it is essentially independent of the ratio and the value of p, becomes a prime candidate for the anomalous collisions required by the fluid models inside r 30 R0, in order to explain the dominant features of the solar-wind flow.
