Scientific paper

The meridional circulation in early-type stars is considered. It is shown that turbulent velocities generated by meridional flows are of the order of 1-10 km/s in A-B-O stars and are in a good agreement with the observed velocities of "microturbulence". Acoustic waves generated by turbulence are the sources of energy to heat coronae. Coronae of O and B stars can emit 1034 erg/s in UV and X-ray and can be hot enough to be the sources of strong stellar wind.
