Abstract

The Evershed motion is postulated as a steady, laminar flow of material along a limiting field line which separates the umbral magnetic field from the penumbral. Assuming that the Evershed flow starts from the spot-base with a velocity which is adequate to carry the convective flux at that level, the velocity at the surface comes out to be of the order of 1 km/sec, in good agreement with the observed Evershed velocity.
