Stellar-wind models incorporating both a magnetic field and rotation generally assume that gradients of meridional flow can be ignored in the equatorial plane. A theoretical study is given that defines when this approximation is valid. Also shown is the asymptotic (for large radius) value of the resultant meridional flow for quite arbitrary circumstances. This flow diverges away from the equatorial plane, and the amplitude is in agreement with the observational estimate of Brandt, Harrington, and Roosen.
