The Parker Spiral with Python
- 2024-10-06
In this post, we will explore the numerical solution to the first-order nonlinear differential equation that models the solar wind speed as a function of the heliocentric distance. Once this velocity profile is obtained, which is temperature-dependent, we proceed to transform it into Lagrangian coordinates centered at an emission point on the corona. This will make it more natural to construct an arm of the Parker spiral, along which the found velocity profile evolves.
