We numerically study the formation process of equatorial disks around isolated Be stars, using an SPH code. We find that the viscous decretion disk model naturally explains the observed disk formation episode of X Per, giving the equatorial mass-loss rate of several ×10−9 (ρ0/10−10 g cm−3) M⊙ yr−1, where ρ0 is the base density of the disk.
