A heuristic asymmetrical model for a quasar emission-line region, with material streaming out, is described. The physical parameters are essentially the same as those of static models; the geometry turns out to be the dominant factor in determining the emission line profiles. Calculations are carried out for a variety of parameterized flow models and for the Blumenthal and Mathews (1975) theoretical model of a radiatively driven flow. The emission-line profiles are insensitive to the details of the acceleration, the filling factor, and the ionization profile. Absorption is assumed to take place in stationary matter in the QSO's galaxy or associated group or cluster, so that z(ab) is identified with the cosmological redshift. Due to the flow, the emission-lines are shifted with respect to the absorption-lines; in cases of a flow directed towards the observer systems with z(ab) at least equal to z(em) result. The distribution of absorption redshifts is symmetric about z(em).
