Self-consistent Coronal Heating and Solar Wind Acceleration from Anisotropic Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence

Cranmer, Steven R.; van Ballegooijen, Adriaan A.; Edgar, Richard J.

We present a series of models for the plasma properties along open magnetic flux tubes rooted in solar coronal holes, streamers, and active regions. These models represent the first self-consistent solutions that combine (1) chromospheric heating driven by an empirically guided acoustic wave spectrum; (2) coronal heating from Alfvén waves that hav…
