Effects of adiabatic index on the sonic surface and time variability of low angular momentum accretion flows
arXiv:1905.02289 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stz1296
Abstract
We study the role of adiabatic index in determining the critical points in the transonic low angular momentum accretion flow onto a black hole. We present the general relativistic 2D hydrodynamic simulations of axisymmetric, inviscid accretion flows in a fixed Kerr black hole gravitational field. A relativistic fluid where its bulk velocity is comparable to the speed of light, flowing in the accretion disk very close to the horizon can be described by an adiabatic index of 4/3 < γ < 5/3. The time dependent evolution of the shock position and respective effects on mass accretion rate and oscillation frequency with varying adiabatic index is discussed in the context of the observed microquasars.
