Abstract
ABSTRACT
Self-similar supersonic winds from an accretion disc around a central object are examined with/without radiation fields under the fully self-similar treatment of two-dimensional outflows. The thermal pressure and viscosity are ignored for simplicity. In the case without radiation fields, many solutions are not outflowing winds, but bound flows, except for limited cases which satisfy the escape condition with sufficiently large initial launch speed and rotational one. In the case with radiation fields, the radiation force acts as a driving force, and therefore, the winds blow easier. However, several solutions are unphysical, since the radiative energy density becomes negative. As a result, depending on the rotational motion and boundary conditions, the radiatively driven self-similar cold disc winds are divided into three types; bound solutions lacking launch speed or radiative acceleration, unphysical ones with a negative energy density, and escaping winds confined in the conical region or extending in the whole space as a special type.
