| Abstract: | Coronal holes have been identified as source regions of the fast solar wind, and MHD wave activity has been detected in coronal
holes by remote sensing, and in situ in fast solar wind streams. I review some of the most suggestive wave observations, and
discuss the theoretical aspects of MHD wave heating and solar wind acceleration in coronal holes. I review the results of
single fluid 2.5D MHD, as well as multi-fluid 2.5D MHD models of waves in coronal holes, the heating, and the acceleration
of the solar wind be these waves. |
