Abstract

We present a brief summary of the main results from our multi-dimensional, time-dependent simulations of gas dynamics in AGN. We focus on two types of outflows powered by radiation emitted from the AGN: disk winds and winds driven from large-scale inflows. We show spectra predicted by the simulations and discuss their relevance to observations of broad- and narrow-line regions of the AGN. We finish with a few remarks on whether these outflows can have a significant impact on their environment and host galaxy.
