Comparison between RHD simulation of supercritical accretion flows and steady model with outflows

Abstract

We apply our two-dimensional (2D), radially self-similar steady-state accretion flow model to the analysis of hydrodynamic simulation results of supercritical accretion flows. Self-similarity is checked and the input parameters for the model calculation, such as advective factor and heat capacity ratio, are obtained from time-averaged simulation data. Solutions of the model are then calculated and compared with the simulation results. We find that in the converged region of the simulation, excluding the part too close to the black hole, the radial distribution of azimuthal velocity $v_{\varphi }$, density $\rho$ and pressure $p$ basically follows the self-similar assumptions, i.e. they are roughly proportional to $r^{-0.5}$, $r^{-n}$, and $r^{-(n+1)}$, respectively, where $n\sim 0.85$ for the mass injection rate of $1000L_{\mathrm{E}}/c^2$, and $n\sim 0.74$ for $3000L_{\mathrm{E}}/c^2$. The distribution of $v_r$ and $v_{\theta }$ agrees less with self-similarity, possibly due to convective motions in the $r\theta$ plane. The distribution of velocity, density and pressure in $\theta$ direction obtained by the steady model agrees well with the simulation results {within the calculation boundary of the steady model}. Outward mass flux in the simulations is overall directed toward polar angle of 0.8382 rad ($\sim 48.0^{\circ }$) for $1000L_{\mathrm{E}}/c^2$, and 0.7852 rad ($\sim 43.4^{\circ }$) for $3000L_{\mathrm{E}}/c^2$, and $\sim$94\% of the mass inflow are driven away as outflow, while outward momentum and energy fluxes are focused around the polar axis. Part of these fluxes lie in the region that are not calculated by the steady model, and special attention should be paid when the model is applied.
