Scientific paper

The consequences of the duelling wind model for the nuclear properties of active galaxies and quasars and for the origins of both nuclear and disk winds are explored. The model predicts a relatively small number of cloud systems with individual clouds having column densities of the order of 10 to the 23rd/sq cm. The line profiles are found to be approximately logarithmic, with both spherical and disk-like radial outflows being possible. Cloud velocities of the order of 10 to the 9th lambda exp 1/2 cm/s are reached, independent of the properties of the nuclear wind which accelerates the clouds. The model also predicts covering factors in the 0.1-1 range.
