Left panels: radial evolution of the Poynting flux normalized to the expected monopole solution (top) and dissipated fraction relative to the light-cylinder value ΔL = L(r) − LLC normalized by LLC (bottom). Right panels: latitude dependence of the normalized Poynting flux per unit of solid angle dL/dΩ (top) and dissipated fraction (bottom) averaged over the radial range 40 ≤ r/RLC ≤ 50. Vertical dotted lines show the predicted maximal latitudinal extension of the striped wind. The dot-dashed line is a sin2θ profile for comparison with the monopole prediction (top-right panel). The full dissipation model of the striped wind proposed by Lyubarsky (2003), Komissarov (2013) is shown by the dashed black line in the lower-right panel. In all panels, these quantities are shown for all 3D runs performed in this study, including the constant radial grid spacing solution for χ = 60°, represented by the dashed red line.
