The rotationally-enhanced stellar wind model for Be stars represents one attempt to understand many of the phenomena related to Be stars in terms of a stellar wind distorted and perhaps also enhanced by rapid stellar rotation. This review will concentrate exclusively on this particular approach; the current status of other attempts to model the circumstellar envelopes (CE) of Be stars are described in other reviews in this volume. It is assumed that Be stars are single stars; if a member of a multiple system, the separation of all components from the Be star is assumed to be sufficiently large that interactions due to mass transfer from any companion to the Be star are negligible.
