Abstract
We formulate the theory of general axisymmetric, steady-state, non-rel ativistic, ideal magnetohydrodynamic flows which continuously advect p oloidal magnetic flux, and obtain self-similar self-consistent solutio ns of the equations. This situation might have direct astrophysical ap plications in accretion-outflow scenaria around compact objects in ste llar systems and active galactic nuclei.
