Five ideas on black hole accretion disks
I review five of Bohdan Paczyński’s ideas on black hole accretion disk theory. They formed my understanding of the subject and often guided intuition in my research. They are fundamentally profound, rich in physical consequences, mathematically elegant and clever, and in addition are useful in several technically difficult practical applications.
متن کاملApplication of the Cubed-sphere Grid to Tilted Black-hole Accretion Disks
In recent work we presented the first results of global general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations of tilted (or misaligned) accretion disks around rotating black holes. The simulated tilted disks showed dramatic differences from comparable untilted disks, such as asymmetrical accretion onto the hole through opposing “plunging streams” and global precession of the disk powered...
متن کاملEpicyclic Motions and Standing Shocks in Numerically Simulated Tilted Black-hole Accretion Disks
This work presents a detailed analysis of the overall flow structure and unique features of the inner region of the tilted disk simulations described in Fragile et al. (2007). The primary new feature identified in the main disk body is a latitude-dependent radial epicyclic motion driven by pressure gradients attributable to the gravitomagnetic warping of the disk. The induced motion of the gas ...
متن کاملRelativistic MHD Simulation of a Tilted Black - Hole Accretion Disk
This paper presents a continuation of our efforts to numerically study accretion disks that are misaligned (tilted) with respect to the rotation axis of a Kerr black hole. Here we present results of a global numerical simulation which fully incorporates the effects of the black hole spacetime as well as magnetorotational turbulence that is the primary source of angular momentum transport in the...
متن کاملTilted Thick-disk Accretion onto a Kerr Black Hole
We present the first results from fully general relativistic numerical studies of thick-disk accretion onto a rapidly-rotating (Kerr) black hole with a spin axis that is tilted (not aligned) with the angular momentum vector of the disk. We initialize the problem with the solution for an aligned, constant angular momentum, accreting thick disk around a black hole with spin a/M = J/M = +0.9 (prog...
