Abstract

A set of equations of stellar wind in a new steady state in spherically symmetry is presented. This equations are available also for the deep interior of stars, whereas the usual equations can be applied only to the surface region. The new equations have a variable mass flux which becomes zero at the inner boundary of the mass flow. The velocity also reduces zero, whereas it diverges at r=0 in the usual continuity equation 4π r2 ϱv=constant. In the surface region, the present equations approach the usual equations.
