If the outflow is extremely rapid, adiabatic cooling results in cold temperatures which slow the particles down. Extremely rapid flow of H from a primitive atmosphere will carry away heavy gases in what is known as blowoff. A heavy atom immersed in an upward-flowing light gas experiences two upward forces: a drag caused by the relative motion, and a buoyancy force. The downward force is gravity. There is a critical mass below which atoms will be accelerated upwards. At higher levels, however, the drag force will decrease and a new equilibrium will be reached.; 0
