Significance of Bernoulli Integral Terms for the Solar Wind Protons at 1 au

The Bernoulli integral describes the energy conservation of a fluid along specific streamlines. is sum individual terms that contain plasma density, speed, temperature, and magnetic field. Typical solar wind analyses use fluctuations as criterion to identify different streamlines from single spacecraft observations. However, accurate calculation requires accurately determining polytropic index analysis density temperature To avoid this complexity, we can simplify calculations by keeping only dominant integral. Here, analyze proton field observations obtained Wind at 1 au, during 1995. We calculate quantify their significance comparing them with each other. discuss potential simplifications in context thermodynamics using
