Global Solutions of Viscous Transonic Flows in Kerr Geometry I: Weak Viscosity Limit
نویسنده
چکیده
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 the black hole horizon, both for co-rotating and contra-rotating flows. We compute the nature of the shear tensor for complete transonic solutions and discuss the consequences of its reversal properties.

Solutions 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 کاملHorizon-Penetrating Transonic Accretion Disks around Rotating Black Holes
The stationary hydrodynamic equations for the transonic accretion disks and flows around rotating black holes are presented by using the Kerr-Schild coordinate where there is no coordinate singularity at the event horizon. We use two types of the causal viscosity prescription, and the boundary conditions for the transonic accretion flows are given at the sonic point. For one type of the causal ...
متن کاملA Composite Finite Difference Scheme for Subsonic Transonic Flows (RESEARCH NOTE).
This paper presents a simple and computationally-efficient algorithm for solving steady two-dimensional subsonic and transonic compressible flow over an airfoil. This work uses an interactive viscous-inviscid solution by incorporating the viscous effects in a thin shear-layer. Boundary-layer approximation reduces the Navier-Stokes equations to a parabolic set of coupled, non-linear partial diff...
متن کاملVanishing Viscosity Method for Transonic Flow
A vanishing viscosity method is formulated for two-dimensional transonic steady irrotational compressible fluid flows with adiabatic constant γ ∈ [1, 3). This formulation allows a family of invariant regions in the phase plane for the corresponding viscous problem, which implies an upper bound uniformly away from cavitation for the viscous approximate velocity fields. Mathematical entropy pairs...
متن کاملAdvection-Dominated Accretion Flows with Causal Viscosity
Aims. We present the basic equations and sample solutions for the steady-state global transonic solutions of the advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) with causal viscosity prescription. The procedures of the stable numerical calculations and all explicit formula to obtain the solutions of ADAFs are also presented. Methods. We solve the transonic solutions of ADAFs by using the explicit n...
