The theoretical debris supply rate from a tidal disruption of stars can exceed about 100 times of Eddington accretion rate for a 10^6–7M_⊙ supermassive black hole. It is believed that a strong wind will be launched from the disk surface due to the radiation pressure in the case of super-Eddington accretion, which may be one of the mechanisms for the formation of the envelope, as observed in tidal disruption events (TDEs). In this work, we explore the evolution of the envelope that formed from the optical thick winds by solving the global solution of the slim-disk model. Our model can roughly reproduce the typical temperature, luminosity, and size of the photosphere for TDEs. Based on Cloudy modeling, we find that, if only considering the radiation-driven disk wind, the emission line luminosities are normally much lower than the typical observational results, due to the limited atmosphere mass outside the envelope. We propose that the ejection of the outflow from the self-collision of the stellar debris during the circularization may provide enough matter outside the disk-wind photosphere. Our calculated spectra can roughly reproduce the main properties of several typical emission lines (e.g., Hα, Hβ, and He II), which was applied well to a TDE candidate AT2018dyb.
