Abstract: The structure and evolution of jet-like structures under a variety of physical conditions is a problem that generally requires numerical modelling. However, in certain cases valuable insight can be gained from purely hydrodynamical analytical solutions which exhibit outflows of varying characteristics. We show here several solutions of this type, applicable to various accretion scenarios. © 2005 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
