Advective Disks

The Role of Thermal Conduction in Accretion Disks with Outflows

In this work we solve the set of hydrodynamical equations for accretion disks in the spherical coordinates (r,θ,ϕ) to obtain the explicit structure along θ direction. We study a two-dimensional advective accretion disc in the presence of thermal conduction. We find self-similar solutions for an axisymmetric, rotating, steady, viscous-resistive disk. We show that the global structure of an advec...

Advective Flow Paradigm and Microquasar Grs1915+105

Advective accretion disks and winds are the most self-consistent solutions today. We describe this paradigm briefly and show how it attempts to explain some of the interesting observations of the galactic microquasar GRS1915+105.

Jets and Outflows From Advective Accretion Disks

Jets and outflows must be produced directly from accretion disks and inflows, especially when the central gravitating objects are compact, such as neutron stars and black holes, and themselves are not mass losing. Here, we review the formation of jets from advective inflows. We show that the centrifugal pressure supported boundary layer (CENBOL) of the black holes may play crucial role in produ...

Advection-Dominated Accretion Disks: Geometrically Slim or Thick?

We revisit the vertical structure of black hole accretion disks in spherical coordinates. By comparing the advective cooling with the viscous heating, we show that advection-dominated disks are geometrically thick, i.e., with the half-opening angle ∆θ > 2π/5, rather than slim as supposed previously in the literature.

Advective Accretion Flows: Ten Years Later

— Ten years have passed since the global solutions of advective accretion disks around black holes and neutron stars were first discovered. Since then they are enjoying support from observers almost on a daily basis, more so in recent days with the launching of very high resolution satellites. This review presents the development of the subject of advective accretion in last twenty five years l...
