Beltrami state in black-hole accretion disk: A magnetofluid approach
Chinmoy Bhattacharjee, Rupam Das, David J. Stark +1
Using the magnetofluid unification framework, we show that the accretion disk plasma (embedded in the background geometry of a blackhole) can relax to a class of states known as th…

Novel mechanism for vorticity generation in black-hole accretion disks
Chinmoy Bhattacharjee, Rupam Das, Swadesh M. Mahajan
Vorticity generation in accretion disks around Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes is investigated in the context of magnetofluid dynamics derived for both General Relativity (GR),…

Magnetofluid Dynamics in curved spacetime
Chinmoy Bhattacharjee, Rupam Das, S. M. Mahajan
A grand unified field is constructed from Maxwell's Field tensor and appropriately modified flow field, both non-minimally coupled to gravity, to analyze the dyn…
