We review the results from multi-dimensional, time-dependent simulations of gas dynamics in AGN. We will focus on two types of outflows powered by radiation emitted from the AGN central engine: (i) outflows driven from the innermost part of an accretion disk and (2) outflows driven from a large-scale inflow that is likely the main supplier of material to the central engine. We discuss the relevance of both types of outflows to the so-called AGN feedback problem. However, the AGN feedback should not be considered separately from the AGN physics. Therefore, we also discuss the issue whether the properties of the same outflows are consistent with the gas properties in broad- and narrow-line regions.
