Flow lines for the non-rotating (left) and rotating (right) cases, rendered from different perspectives (from top to bottom: front, side, and pole-on views). For visual clarity, only the streamlines crossing the northern hemisphere are shown in the front view. The length of each streamline indicates the total displacement of a given plasma element during the same period of time. Streamlines that correspond to plasma lying well within the streamer make an arc of a circle around the Sun (CCW on the pole-on view), while those connected to solar wind flows extend outward.
