Bernoulli relation (Equation (27)) about the squared stellar wind velocity (gray line) in the case of the M3.5 dwarf with vph/vconv = 1 and ﹩\mathrm{ln}(\overline{B}/{B}_{\mathrm{ph}})=-6﹩. Here Δp (Equation (28)), Δg (Equation (32)), ﹩{{\rm{\Delta }}}_{{p}_{{\rm{B}}}}﹩ (Equation (29)), Δt (Equation (31)), and Δc (Equation (30)) represent the acceleration by the plasma pressure gradient, gravity, magnetic pressure gradient, magnetic tension force, and centrifugal force. The red dotted line corresponds to the acceleration by the background plasma pressure gradient (Equation (33)).
