Thermal Equilibrium Solutions of Black Hole Accretion Flows: Outflows VS Advection
arXiv:2204.03606 · doi:10.3847/1538-4357/ac6588
Abstract
Observations and numerical simulations have shown that outflows generally exist in the accretion process. We revisit the thermal equilibrium solutions of black hole accretion flows by including the role of outflows. Our study focuses on the comparison of the cooling rate of outflows with that of advection. Our results show that, except for the inner region, outflows can dominate over advection in a wide range of the flow, which is in good agreement with previous numerical simulations. We argue that an advection-dominated inner region together with an outflow-dominated outer region should be a general radial distribution for both super-Eddington accretion flows and optically thin flows with low accretion rates.
