Forces extracted from a latitudinal cut through the current sheet occurring in the aftermath of eruptions at different heights and simulation times. The slices were taken through the slow wind – single eruption simulation at 2.62 R_⊙ and 26 h from the start of shearing (black line), and at 3.2 R_⊙ and 37 h (blue line), and through the faster wind – single eruption at 3.3 R_⊙, 22 h from the start of shearing (red line).
