We examined an accretion-disk corona around a black hole immersed in the disk radiation fields (cf. Watanabe, Fukue 1996a, b). The corona is supposed to be initially at rest far from the center. During infall above and below the disk, the corona is suffered from the disk radiation fields. As a disk model, we adopted the standard α-disk, and in order to mimic the general relativisitic effects, we use the pseudo-Newtonian force proposed by Artemova et al. (1996). Moreover, we assume that the corona is geometrically thin and optically thin, and ignored any motion such as wind. We consider the cold case, where the pressure-gradient force is ignored. Under these assumptions, we calculated the motion of the corona gas and found that the infall of corona is supressed due to disk radiation fields.
