Scientific paper

It is shown that in thin disks with an angular velicity distribution according to Kepler's law hydrostatic and thermal equlibria cannot be fulfilled simultaneously. Depending on the amount of viscosity in the disk either thermally or dynamically driven circulation will occur. The velocity of this circulation is kept low because of a slightly baroclinic structure of the disk, which is produced by the circulation currents.
