Upper panel: 2D graph of the density of a converged model of a circumstellar viscous outflowing disk of a critically rotating B0-type star in the very inner region up to 5 stellar radii, corresponding to the disk mass-loss rate = 10−8 M yr−1, with the constant viscosity parameter α = α0 = 0.1. The sonic point radius is in this case approximately 2.5 × 104 Req and the density profile is relatively smooth. The contours mark the density values (from lower to higher) 2.5 × 10−8, 5 × 10−8, 10−7, 1.5 × 10−7, 2 × 10−7 [kg m −3], and so on, with a constant increment of 0.5 × 10−7 kg m−3. Lower panel:same graph, but with the viscosity coefficient α = α0 = 1. The density profile shows significant roughly periodic waves that occur in the case of a viscosity parameter α ≳ 0.5. The contours mark the density levels (from lower to higher) 2.5 × 10−8, 5 × 10−8, 7.5 × 10−8 and 10−7 [kg m −3].
