Abstract
We present four independent groups of fully analytical 2-D solutions d escribing plasma outflow (or inflow) from a central gravitational obje ct by solving self-consistently the set of the governing hydrodynamic (HD) equations. The solutions are steady state, axisymmetric, helicoid al and non-polytropic. Stellar parameters in one of the four groups of solutions yields a thermally driven outflow (stellar wind) which beco me. supersonic very close to the star.
