Upper panels: evolution of global mass-loss rate as a function of time. The blue dashed line shows the mass-loss rate computed from a non-rotating model. Central panels: evolution of normalised specific angular momentum loss, as given by Eq. (19) (see text for details). In the limit of slow rotation this quantity is equal to unity, shown by the blue dashed line. Lower panels: evolution of the equatorial rotational velocity as a function of time. The left panels show a 10 M model, the right panels a 20 M model. Predictions of the local scheme, where surface mass flux is determined by Eq. (16) and the global mass-loss rate given by Eq. (11), are given in red. The standard scheme, where the mass loss rates are increased by Eq. (17) is depicted in black. All rotating models have initial equatorial rotational velocities of 300 km s−1.
