Turbulent Energy Transport in Nonradiative Accretion Flows
Just as correlations between fluctuating radial and azimuthal velocities produce a coherent stress contributing to the angular momentum transport in turbulent accretion disks, correlations in the velocity and temperature fluctuations produce a coherent energy flux. This nonadvective thermal energy flux is always of secondary importance in thin radiative disks, but cannot be neglected in nonradi...
متن کاملThe Dynamical Structure of Nonradiative Black Hole Accretion Flows
We analyze three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of a nonradiative accretion flow around a black hole using a pseudo-Newtonian potential. The flow originates from a torus initially centered at 100 gravitational (Schwarzschild) radii. Accretion is driven by turbulent stresses generated selfconsistently by the magnetorotational instability. The resulting flow has three well-defi...
متن کاملMagnetized Accretion Flows: Effects of Gas Pressure
We study how axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) accretion flows depend on γ adiabatic index in the polytropic equation of state. This work is an extension of Mościbrodzka & Proga (2008), where we investigated the γ dependence of 2-D Bondilike accretion flows in the hydrodynamical (HD) limit. Our main goal is to study if simulations for various γ can give us insights into to the problem of...

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...
