Solar wind parameters for three different simulations.

Simulations parameters

vSW [km s−1] ne [cm−3] Te [K] Tp [K] BSW [nT] M β
Sim 1 300 80 280 000 110 000 30 4.1 1.2
Sim 2 400 60 230 000 200 000 30 5.2 1.0

Notes. We assume a electron–proton plasma so that ne = np. M is the sonic Mach number and β the ratio of the thermal pressure to the magnetic pressure.
