Two-fluid models for the winds of OB stars
Abstract
A two-fluid model to OB stars is investigated, in which the flow is described by a set of two components, One for the dense clumps and the other for the smooth gas. The two components are coupled by friction drag. The velocity structure of clumps is assumed to be beta law, thus, the velocity structure of the second component could be attained by shooting method. The result is compared with the X-ray observations.
