u/zchen/isothermalwind
v4 v5 9 9 Substitute (3) and (2) into (1) and assume the wind is in steady state, we can get: 10 10 11 $\frac{1}{u}\frac{du}{dt}=(\frac{2a^2}{r}-\frac{GM}{r^2})/(u^2-a^2)$ 11 $\frac{1}{u}\frac{du}{dt}=(\frac{2a^2}{r}-\frac{GM}{r^2})/(u^2-a^2)$ (4) 12 12 13 13 $u=a$ is a singular point and $\frac{2a^2}{r}-\frac{GM}{r^2}=0$ is critical point. If the wind is to experience constant acceleration, u will exceed a at some radius such that the equation become singular. Therefore the reasonable picture for the constant accelerating wind is that numerator goes to 0 as the denominator goes to 0. … … 31 31 $\left.\frac{du}{dt}\right|_{r=r_c}=\frac{\pm 2a^2}{GM}$ 32 32 33 We can also solve (4) 34 35 $u e^{-\frac{u^2}{2a^2}}=a(\frac{r_c^2}{r})e^{(-\frac{2r_c}{r}+1.5)}$ 36 33 37 Remark: We can use mass conservation law to get $\rho(r)$ profile. 34 38
