Take and positive mean kinematic viscosity . The steady state of the supplied viscous evolution of an accretion disk equation satisfies . The outer no-flux condition therefore gives
Positive produces positive inward accretion rate in this sign convention. Set . In a Keplerian disk, the viscous torque in an accretion disk is proportional to , so the zero-torque inner boundary condition gives . Since , a second integration yields
This is the steady viscous disk supplied by a radial source. It does not require to be independent of radius: the equation directly determines . If viscosity depends on the local thermodynamic state, the displayed formula is an implicit relation completed by a separate closure. For nonnegative integrable it gives nonnegative surface density of a disk, and the inner accretion rate equals the total supplied mass per unit time, . Differentiating both nested integrals recovers the flux and the differential equation.
