Mass Transport, Turbulent Mixing, and Inflow in Black Hole Accretion
George N. Wong, Lia Medeiros, James M. Stone
We investigate mass transport, mixing, and disk evolution in non-radiative black hole accretion flows using Lagrangian tracer particles embedded in general relativistic magnetohydr…
Radiation GRMHD Models of Accretion onto Stellar-Mass Black Holes: II. Super-Eddington Accretion
Lizhong Zhang, James M. Stone, Christopher J. White +3
We present a comprehensive analysis of super-Eddington black hole accretion simulations that solve the GRMHD equations coupled with angle-discretized radiation transport. The simul…
Radiation GRMHD Models of Accretion onto Stellar-Mass Black Holes: I. Survey of Eddington Ratios
Lizhong Zhang, James M. Stone, Patrick D. Mullen +3
We summarize results from a survey of radiation-dominated black hole accretion flows across a wide range of mass accretion rates, as well as two values of black hole spin and initi…
The plunging region of a thin accretion disc around a Schwarzschild black hole
Jake Rule, Andrew Mummery, Steven Balbus +2
A set of analytic solutions for the plunging region thermodynamics have been developed recently under the assumption that the fluid undergoes a gravity-dominated geodesic plunge in…
Global Simulations of Gravitational Instability in Protostellar Disks with Full Radiation Transport II. Locality of Gravitoturbulence, Clumpy Spirals, and Implications for Observable Substructure
Wenrui Xu, Yan-Fei Jiang, Matthew W. Kunz +1
Spiral perturbations in a gravitationally unstable accretion disk regulate disk evolution through angular-momentum transport and heating and provide an observational signature of g…
