- Abstract
The objective of this work is to reproduce the formation of the fast polar wind and viscous disk outflow from Be stars in a unified physical picture. Numerical modeling of the plasma outflow from fast rotating stars was performed taking into account the acceleration of the plasma due to scattering of the radiation of the star in lines of plasma ions and excitation of the hydrodynamic turbulence in the outflow. The fast polar wind naturally arises in this picture with an expected flow rate. For the first time, it is shown that a disk-like outflow with a relatively high level of turbulence is formed at the equator of fast rotating stars emitting radiation-driven wind. However, the level of turbulent viscosity is well below the level necessary for the formation of a Keplerian disk.
