A main purpose of this paper is to investigate by numerical calculations how a model solar wind, initially in a steady state and in energy balance, is disturbed and deformed and how it acquires a high speed when heat liberation corresponding to energy release in solar flares of importance approx.1 occurs around the lower corona in a radial open field region. This transient behavior of the flare-associated solar wind is modeled between 1 and 8 solar radii.
