Abstract
It is shown that the connection of sufficiently fast flows with dynamical channels for particle escape in the Solar Corona is rather direct: it depends on their ability to deform (in specific cases to distort) the ambient magnetic field lines to temporarily stretch (shrink, destroy) the closed field lines so that the flow can escape the local region. Using a dissipative two--fluid code in which the flows are treated at par with the currents, we have demonstrated channel creation in a variety of closed--field line structures. This self--induced transparency constitutes the active mode for the formation of the solar wind.
