Self-Similar Accretion Flows with Convection
We consider height-integrated equations of an advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF), assuming that there is no mass outflow. We include convection through a mixing length formalism. We seek self-similar solutions in which the angular velocity and sound speed scale as R, where R is the radius, and consider two limiting prescriptions for the transport of angular momentum by convection. In one...
متن کاملThe Magnetohydrodynamics of Convection-Dominated Accretion Flows
Radiatively inefficient accretion flows onto black holes are unstable due to both an outwardly decreasing entropy (“convection”) and an outwardly decreasing rotation rate (the “magnetorotational instability”, MRI). Using a linear magnetohydrodynamic stability analysis, we show that long-wavelength modes with λ/H ≫ β are primarily destabilized by the entropy gradient and that such “convective” m...
متن کاملSpectral Models of Convection-Dominated Accretion Flows
For small values of the dimensionless viscosity parameter, namely α ∼< 0.1, the dynamics of non-radiating accretion flows is dominated by convection; convection strongly suppresses the accretion of matter onto the central object and transports a luminosity ∼ 10 − 10Ṁc from small to large radii in the flow. A fraction of this convective luminosity is likely to be radiated at large radii via ther...
متن کاملA Simplified Solution for Advection Dominated Accretion Flows with Outflow
The existence of outflow in the advection dominated accretion flows has been confirmed by both numerical simulations and observations. The outow models for ADAF have been investigated by several groups with a simple self similar solution. But this solution is inaccurate at the inner regions and can not explain the emitted spectrum of the flow; so, it is necessary to obtain a global solution for...
متن کاملGlobal dynamics of radiatively inefficient accretion flows: advection versus convection
We obtain global solutions of radiatively inefficiently accretion flows around black holes. Whether and where convection develops in a flow are self-consistently determined with the mixing-length theory. The solutions can be divided into three types according to the strength of normal viscosity. Type I solution corresponds to large viscosity parameter α>∼ 0.1, which is purely advectiondominated...
