摘要：

If molecular outflows represent turbulent material entrained by a central jet, then the surfaces of constant velocity should spread outward from the jet axis. Using the results of CO observations, I propose an empirical velocity distribution of this character. Outflows with this distribution display the well-documented ''acceleration'' phenomenon, i.e., the increase in terminal velocity away from the driving star.
