Description

The author reviews the current state of understanding of the large-scale dynamics of the solar wind and suggests some directions that research in this area is likely to follow in the future. The relationship between physical processes in the solar wind and in various astrophysical plasmas is also considered, with an emphasis being given to the study of stellar winds. (Auth.)
