Advection-Dominated Accretion Disks: Geometrically Slim or Thick?
Wei-Min Gu, Li Xue, Tong Liu +1
We revisit the vertical structure of black hole accretion disks in spherical coordinates. By comparing the advective cooling with the viscous heating, we show that advection-domina…

An analytic relation for the thickness of accretion flows
Zhen-Yi Cai, Wei-Min Gu, Li Xue +1
We take the vertical distribution of the radial and azimuthal velocity into account in spherical coordinates, and find that the analytic relation c_{s0}/(v_K Θ) = [(γ-1)/(2γ)]^{1/2…
