Scientific paper

The polytropic relation between pressure and density of wind gases is used to obtain solutions for optically thin hot accretion disks with winds. It is assumed that the cooling mechanisms in the disks are bremsstrahlung and Compton scattering. This extends the previous work of Takahara et al. (1989) which did not analyze winds within a self-consistent disk model. It is shown that the disks have winds for accretion rates higher than about 10 percent of the Eddington rate, depending on the viscosity parameter of the disks and the polytropic exponent of wind gases. The poloidal velocity of winds at the foot-point is shown to be as high as 10 percent of light speed.
