The supercritical disk accretion flow with radiatively driven outflows is studied based on two-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamic simulations for a wide range of the mass input rate, Ṁinput, which is the mass supplied from the outer region to the disk per unit time. The α-prescription is adopted for the viscosity. We employ α = 0.5, as well as α = 0.1, for Ṁinput ≥ 3 × 102LE/c2 and only α = 0.5 for Ṁinput ≤ 102LE/c2, where LE is the Eddington luminosity and c is the speed of light. The quasi-steady disk and radiatively driven outflows form in the case in which the mass input rate highly exceeds the critical rate, Ṁinput > 3 × 102LE/c2. Then, the disk luminosity, as well as the kinetic energy output rate by the outflow, exceeds the Eddington luminosity. The moderately supercritical disk, Ṁinput ~ 10-102LE/c2, exhibits limit-cycle oscillations. The disk luminosity goes up and down across the Eddington luminosity, and the radiatively driven outflows intermittently appear. The time-averaged mass, momentum, and kinetic energy output rates by the outflow, as well as the disk luminosity, increase with an increase of the mass input rate, ∝Ṁ-Ṁ for α = 0.5 and ∝Ṁ-Ṁ for α = 0.1. Our numerical simulations show that the radiatively driven outflow model for the correlation between black hole mass and bulge velocity dispersion proposed by Silk & Rees and King is successful if Ṁinputc2/LE ~ a few 10 (α = 0.5) or ≳ a few (α = 0.1).
