An Empirical Model for the Solar Wind Velocity
Abstract
An analytic expression for the average radial component of the Solar Wind velocity between 1 solar radius and 1 AU is developed. The model is constructed by assuming the conservation of particle flow in the Solar Wind and application of a twelve-year average measured value of the Solar Wind radial velocity at 1 AU.
