Abstract

type:Article

Radiatively-driven transfer flow perpendicular to a luminous disk is examined in the suhrelativistic regime of (v/c)^1, taking into account the gravity of the central object. The flow is assumed to be vertical, and the gas pressure is ignored, while internal heating is assumed to be proportional to the gas density. The basic equations were numerically solved as a function of the optical depth, and the flow velocity, the height, the radiative flux, and the radiation pressure were obtained for a given radius, an initial optical depth, and initial conditions at the flow base (disk "inside"), whereas the mass-loss rate was determined as an eigenvalue of the boundary condition at the flow top (disk "surface"). For sufficiently luminous cases, the ilow resembles the case without gravity. For less-luminous cases, however, the flow velocity decreases, and the flow would be impossible due to the existence of gravity in the case that the radiative flux is sufficiently small. Application to a supercritical accretion disk with mass loss is briefly discussed.
