Snapshot (at t ≃ 18 hr) of the solar wind radial speed (V_R) for (a) Run A and (b) Run B projected onto the meridional plane at ϕ = 0^∘. The synthetic spacecraft that cross the meridional plane are represented by white spheres. The animated version of this figure shows the evolution of V_R throughout the temporal domain of the simulations from 0 to 20 hr, corresponding to code units from 200.0 to 250.0 in increments of 0.5 (12 minutes). The animation has a total real-time duration of 7 s.
