Asymptotic profiles of the constraint satisfying solution plotted with respect to heliocentric radius (s). Top panel: Profiles of T/T*, (u∞ − u)/(u∞ − u*), and an s−2/7 power law for reference. Middle panel: Profiles of f/f*, and σ/σ*, with an s−2 power law for reference. In both cases, the computed solutions are in good agreement with the representative power laws in the asymptotic region (r ≳ 104 R⊙). Bottom panel: Total energy flux associated with heat conduction (f), viscous stress (σu), bulk kinetic energy (ρu3/2), as well as saturation limits associated with free-streaming of electrons (peve) and ion thermal energy density (piu). The total energy flux, which is proportional to the sum of (ρu3/2 + f + σu), is shown in the black dashed-dotted curve.
