Schematic 2D-projected illustration of a massive outflow from the accretion disk due to the radiatively dust-driving mechanism. The radial extension of the LIL BLR is the entire radial range from which the material can be lifted from the disk surface, and the escaping zone represents the radial range from which all lifted material escapes to the torus or infinity. The dashed lines indicate the reference angles with respect to the azimuthal symmetry axis, i.e. the opening angle of the torus (θt), the maximum angle (θ1), and the minimum angle (θ2) of the outflow funnel (cone), which are shown in green, blue, and red, respectively. The solid curved line in dark red represents the sublimation location in which the material that crosses loses the dust content. The regions in the funnel-shaped wind structure shaded in blue and red correspond to dusty and dustless escaping material, respectively.
