An improved knowledge of the physical conditions in the low corona and solar wind can only be obtained through careful comparisons between theoretical descriptions of the solar wind expansion and plasma parameters derived from observations. In this review we will present a summary of recent approaches in solar wind modeling. The plasma parameters characterizing the solar wind models will be compared to constraints inferred from in-situ and remote observations. We will then discuss the implications of the results obtained from this study for future model studies and observations. Emphasis will be placed on high-speed solar wind streams originating from large coronal holes.
