A two-fluid model of the solar wind with anisotropic proton temperature and allowing for extended coronal proton-heating is considered for the case of a purely radial and of a spiral magnetic field. Proton-proton Coulomb-collisions together with a spiral interplanetary magnetic field are found to be sufficient to reduce the thermal anisotropy in the proton gas to a value in agreement with observations. Reasonable values are obtained for the flow-velocity, number density and the protontemperature near the orbit of the Earth.
