The effect of the flow in the accretion disk has been studied. The specific angular momentum of the disk is assumed to be constant and the polytropic relation is used. The structure of the disk and the flow patterms of the irrotational perfect fluid are solved. As far as the obtained results are concerned, the flow does not affect the shape of the configuration in the bulk of the disk, although the flow velocity reaches even a half of the sound velocity at the inner edge of the disk. Therefore, in order to study accretion disk models with the moderate mass accretion rate, it is reasonable to assume that the shape is almost unchanged from that for the disk without flow with small opening angle both at the inner and the outer edge. However, near the outer edge of the thick disk, the weak density inversion occurs due to the high-flow velocity.
