Can I read Flow-tube Dynamics and Coronal Holes on EtoBox?

Flow-tube Dynamics and Coronal Holes by D. Summers is a Physics and Astronomy article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Flow-tube Dynamics and Coronal Holes about?

We reexamine the well-known polytropic flow-tube model of the expanding solar corona, and find that as the divergence of the flow tube increases the expansion speed increases throughout the flow, over a stated parameter range. Corresponding to a specified flow-tube geometry the terminal speed of the fluid may be far in excess of the value corresponding to purely spherically symmetric flow. The implications of the results for the modelling of high-speed streams emanating from coronal holes are discussed.
