Schematic illustration of the model used. Each gas parcel of the BE sphere whose specific angular momentum falls into a given interval will eventually be accreted onto a ring within the disc, while retaining its angular momentum. As a result of a radial pressure gradient, the specific angular momentum of the gas within the ring can differ from the Keplerian value. The force vectors drawn on the figure give rise to a sub-Keplerian rotation.
