Vertical Structure of Gas Pressure-Dominated Accretion Disks with Local Dissipation of Turbulence and Radiative Transport
We calculate the vertical structure of a local patch of an accretion disk in which heating by dissipation of MRI-driven MHD turbulence is balanced by radiative cooling. Heating, radiative transport, and cooling are computed selfconsistently with the structure by solving the equations of radiation MHD in the shearing-box approximation. Using a fully 3-d and energy-conserving code, we compute the...
متن کاملOn the Vertical Structure of Radiation-Dominated Accretion Disks
The vertical structure of black hole accretion disks in which radiation dominates the total pressure is investigated using a three-dimensional radiation-MHD calculation. The domain is a small patch of disk centered 100 Schwarzschild radii from a black hole of 10 M⊙, and the stratified shearing-box approximation is used. Magneto-rotational instability converts gravitational energy to turbulent m...
متن کاملNeutrino transport in accretion disks
We test approximate approaches to solving a neutrino transport problem that presents itself in the analysis of some accretion-disk models. Approximation # 1 consists of replacing the full, angulardependent, distribution function by a two-stream simulation, where the streams are respectively outwardly and inwardly directed, with angles cos θ = ±1/ √ 3 to the vertical. In this approximation the f...
متن کاملAngular momentum transport in thin accretion disks and intermittent accretion.
The plasma modes, transporting angular momentum in accretion disks, under minimally restrictive conditions when the magnetic energy density is significant relative to the thermal energy density, are shown to be singular if the ideal MHD approximation is adopted. A similarity with the modes producing magnetic reconnection in current carrying plasmas is established. The combined effects of finite...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Hydrodynamic Simulations of Convection in Radiation-dominated Accretion Disks
The standard equilibrium for radiation-dominated accretion disks has long been known to be viscously, thermally, and convectively unstable, but the nonlinear development of these instabilities—hence the actual state of such disks—has not yet been identified. By performing local two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of disks, we demonstrate that convective motions can release heat sufficientl...
