Plume solutions for two different rates of magnetic field falloff (or flux-tube expansion). Solid curves: ν = 2 ( Br −2 everywhere). Dotted curves: ν = 5 ( Br −5 for r ≲ 2.5  R ). As in the plume solution of Figure  2 (where ν = 4), we have set F i g0 = F e g0 = 2.5 × 10 5 erg cm −2 s −1, H g = 1  R , F i b0 = F e b0 = 2 × 10 5 erg cm −2 s −1, and H b = 0.01  R .
