It has been suggested by Zickgraf et al. (1986) that the outer atmosphere of some B[e] stars has a two-component structure: a fast, radiation-driven wind from the pole, and a dense, slow outflow from the equator. This is also die basic picture investigated by Poe, Friend, and Cassinelli (1989) (hereafter PFC) to explain the momentum problem associated with Wolf-Rayet stars. Here we apply the PFC multiforce wind theory to model the B[e] outflow phenomenon.
