This book discusses key theoretical aspects concerning the
formation of the solar wind: the most essential building block in
the heliosphere, in which planets orbit. To understand the
influence of solar activity on planetary magnetospheres and
atmospheres, we need to first understand the origin of the solar
wind, which is still under debate. This book presents the outcomes
of state-of-the-art numerical simulations of solar wind
acceleration, including the first three-dimensional simulation of
the turbulence-driven solar wind model. One of the book's goals is
to include compressional effects in the dynamics of solar wind
turbulence; accordingly, it discusses parametric decay instability
in detail. Several key aspects that are relevant to the Parker
Solar Probe observations are also discussed. Given its scope, the
book plays a key role in bridging the gap between the theory of
magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and current/future in-situ
observations of the solar wind. This book is based on the Ph.D.
thesis by the author, which won the 2019 International Astronomical
Union Division E Ph.D. prize.
