Family of azimuthal velocity profiles for the solar wind, derived using the hybrid radial velocity profile with rs = 2.7, for a range of Alfvén point locations as indicated in the colorbar at the bottom. For these profiles an in situ solar wind speed of 600 km s−1 at L1 (∼215 R) was considered. (Inset) Zoomed-in view at small radial distances. The solid black line indicates the azimuthal velocity profile if we consider corotation with the Sun below the SS height (2.5 R) and no azimuthal component after that height.
