Scientific paper

A wind-type solution is obtained in an axisymmetric spacetime in the case when matter has angular momentum. An application of the solution in understanding the acceleration of matter in radio jets as it flows along the funnel of a thick accretion disk is suggested. It is observed that the location of the critical point depends strongly upon the angular momentum of the wind. Apart from the usual acceleration of matter due to the expansion of the flow tube, the energy due to the rotational motion is found to contribute to the poloidal motion, hence enhancing the flow speed.
