Scientific paper

The structure of a steady state, spherically symmetric flow with a distributed mass source and sink is examined in this paper: the source corresponds to the arrival of mass from vaporizing clouds and the sink, to the possible condensation of gas owing to a thermal instability. Depending on the efficiency of the mass source, three types of flow can exist: (a) supersonic or subsonic flows everywhere, and flows with (b) one or (c) two critical (sonic) points. Condensation of the gas shifts the critical point (if it exists) outward. External gravitation does not change the flow structure qualitatively, unlike in the case of flows without mass sources and sinks.
