Observations of the solar corona and the solar wind discover that the solar wind is unsteady and originates from the impulsive events near the surface of the Sun's atmosphere. How solar coronal activities affect the properties of the solar wind is a fundamental issue in heliophysics. We report a simulation and theoretical investigation of how nanoflare accelerated electron beams affect the kinetic-scale properties of the solar wind and generate coherent radio emission. We show that nanoflare… Expand
