equatorial wind
  باد ِ هموگاری  
bâd-e hamugâri
Fr.: vent équatorial  

A slow, dense → stellar wind (high → mass loss rate) emanating from equatorial regions of a → B[e] star. The equatorial and → polar winds are
the two main wind components in B[e] stars. The mechanism suggested to explain this wind morphology is the rotationally induced → bistability mechanism.
