Comparison of the proton bulk speed Up between laminar (left column) and turbulent solar wind simulations (right column) at t=250Ωci1$t = 250\Omega _{{\rm{ci}}}^{ - 1}$. We note that the color scale is linear for clarity, unlike in Figs. 2 and 3. The same format as that in Fig. 2 is used, with the color bar in units of Alfvén speed CA, where white represents the solar-wind speed (Usw = 10 CA). We note that the bulk speeds are expressed in the planet’s reference frame here. Gray regions are those where the plasma density is smaller than 0.1n0
