Two integrations of the steady Keplerian viscous diffusion equation give this general transported quantity. fixes the mass accretion rate, while fixes the additive angular-momentum flux or inner torque. A zero-torque inner boundary condition gives ; a nonaccreting constant-torque disk has .
For no central accretion, and
This nonaccreting constant-torque disk has a finite inner stress and normally a nonzero inner surface density. An external inner torque supplies the angular momentum transported to an outer sink, although mass does not flow. If both this zero-mass-flux condition and a zero inner torque are imposed, ; there is no nontrivial positive-viscosity steady disk satisfying both.
