Numerical Simulations of Rotating Accretion Flows near a Black Hole
We present time-dependent solutions of thin, supersonic accretion flows near a black hole and compare them with analytical solutions. Such flows of inviscid, adiabatic gas are characterized by the specific angular momentum and the specific energy. We confirm that for a wide range of above parameters a stable standing shock wave with a vortex inside it forms close to the black hole. Apart from s...
متن کاملNumerical Simulations of Convective Accretion Flows in Three Dimensions
Advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) are known to be convectively unstable for low values of the viscosity parameter α. Two-dimensional axisymmetric hydrodynamic simulations of such flows reveal a radial density profile which is significantly flatter than the ρ ∝ r−3/2 expected for a canonical ADAF. The modified density profile is the result of inward transport of angular momentum by axi...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of rotating axisymmetric sunspots
A numerical model of axisymmetric convection in the presence of a vertical magnetic flux bundle and rotation about the axis is presented. The model contains a compressible plasma described by the nonlinear MHD equations, with density and temperature gradients simulating the upper layer of the sun’s convection zone. The solutions exhibit a central magnetic flux tube in a cylindrical numerical do...
متن کاملNumerical models of black hole accretion flows
Black hole accretion flows are the hot, magnetized, turbulent plasma that surround black holes in astrophysical settings and in some cases make them the most luminous objects in the universe. I review recent developments in the numerical modeling of these plasmas. For weakly radiating flows it is now possible to follow the dynamics of the plasma by integrating the equations of general relativis...
متن کاملNon-axisymmetric instabilities in shocked adiabatic accretion flows
We investigate the linear stability of a shocked accretion flow onto a black hole in the adiabatic limit. Our linear analyses and numerical calculations show that, despite the post-shock deceleration, the shock is generally unstable to non-axisymmetric perturbations. The simulation results of Molteni, Tóth & Kuznetsov can be well explained by our linear eigenmodes. The mechanism of this instabi...
