Abstract

We construct a family of self-similar solutions to describe radiatively inefficient accretion flows with outflow. We show that outflow has important effects on the dynamical structure of accretion flows. In particular, we prove that outflow can be an effective mechanism of removing the released gravitational energy of accreted gas.
