Solar wind modeling with EUHFORIA for new heliophysics space missions (SWIM)

The overarching science question to be addressed in the proposed project is: how does solar wind evolve and define its space weather impact on Earth? To address this question, the main specific objectives of the project are: 1)  to simulate the background solar wind and CME propagation using a state-of-the-art model, 2)  to compare the simulation results to novel in situ observations of the solar wind by PSP and SolO, 3)  to improve and optimize the EUHFORIA model for scientific and forecasting purposes.
