Relativistic Viscous Fluid Description of Black Hole Wind
نویسنده
چکیده
Microscopic black holes explode with their temperature varying inversely as their mass. Such explosions would lead to the highest temperatures in the present universe, all the way to the Planck energy. Whether or not a quasi-stationary shell of matter undergoing radial hydrodynamic expansion surrounds such black holes has been controversial. In this paper relativistic viscous fluid equations are applied to the problem. It is shown that a selfconsistent picture emerges of a fluid just marginally kept in local thermal equilibrium; viscosity is a crucial element of the dynamics.

Relativistic Viscous Fluid Description of Microscopic Black Hole Wind
Microscopic black holes explode with their temperature varying inversely as their mass. Such explosions would lead to the highest temperatures in the present universe, all the way to the Planck energy. Whether or not a quasi-stationary shell of interacting matter undergoing radial hydrodynamic expansion surrounds such black holes is controversial. In this paper relativistic viscous fluid equati...
متن کاملSolutions of Two Dimensional Viscous Accretion and Winds In Kerr Black Hole Geometry
We extend our previous studies of shock waves and shock-free solutions in thin accretion and winds in pseudo-Newtonian geometry to the case when the flow is two-dimensional and around a Kerr black hole. We present equations for fully general relativistic viscous transonic flows and classify the parameter space according to whether or not shocks form in an inviscid flow. We discuss the behaviors...
متن کاملGlobal Solutions of Viscous Transonic Flows in Kerr Geometry I: Weak Viscosity Limit
We present fully general relativistic equations governing viscous transonic flows in vertical equilibrium in Kerr geometry. We find the complete set of global solutions (both for Optically thick and optically thin flows) in the weak viscosity limit. We show that for a large region of parameter space, centrifugal pressure supported standing shocks can form in accretion and winds very close to th...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of relativistic wind accretion on to black holes using Godunov-type methods
We have studied numerically the so-called Bondi-Hoyle (wind) accretion on to a rotating (Kerr) black hole in general relativity. We have used the Kerr-Schild form of the Kerr metric, free of coordinate singularities at the black hole horizon. The ‘test-fluid’ approximation has been adopted, assuming no dynamical evolution of the gravitational field. We have used a recent formulation of the gene...
متن کاملFluid accretion onto a spherical black hole: relativistic description versus Bondi model
We describe general-relativistically a spherically symmetric stationary fluid accretion onto a black hole. Relativistic effects enhance mass accretion, in comparison to the Bondi model predictions, in the case when backreaction is neglected. That enhancement depends on the adiabatic index and the asymptotic gas temperature and it can magnify accretion by one order in the ultrarelativistic regim...
