The FLUX code uses a pseudo-lagrangian framework to model coronal magnetic fields, tracing discrete lines of magnetic flux, called fluxons, through the magnetic environment to determine plasma parameter values. By only performing computation along the field lines and then interpolating values in between, FLUX is highly scalable and inherently operates with an adaptive resolution. 

This work describes FLUXPipe in particular, a new algorithm within FLUX that ties together the disparate routines into an automated processing pipeline. This allows the user to specify an arbitrary Carrington Rotation and the software performs all of the steps required to generate modeled output of the solar wind velocity, greatly simplifying its use by end-users. This poster describes the various steps in the pipeline and shows preliminary results for the solar wind speed. We invite attendees to stop by and comment on several questions we have listed on the poster that will help us to improve the model.
