Accretion Disks Phase Transitions: 2-D or not 2-D?

arXiv:astro-ph/0004106 · doi:10.1093/pasj/52.2.295

Abstract

We argue that the proper way to treat thin-thick accretion-disk transitions should take into account the 2-D nature of the problem. We illustrate the physical inconsistency of the 1-D vertically integrated approach by discussing a particular example of the convective transport of energy.
