The first equation is vertical hydrostatic equilibrium: the pressure gradient balances the vertical gravity of the central mass, , and the disk's own potential . The second is the plane-parallel Poisson equation for disk self-gravity. The third balances the vertical increase of radiative flux against local viscous heating in a Keplerian alpha disk, and the fourth is the optically thick radiative diffusion law.
