Olmsted, C. and Akasofu, S.-I. (1986). A method for determining corotating interaction regions in the equatorial plane of the heliosphere from solar wind velocity data. Journal of Geophysical Research 91: doi: 10.1029/JA080i012p13689. issn: 0148-0227.

An Euler-Lagrange coordinate transformation is applied to a computed solar wind velocity data set to obtain fluid streamlines which are also magnetic field lines. Plotting these lines for high resolution simulation data provides detailed information about the time variation of corotating interaction regions in the equatorial plane of the heliosphere.
