Outflows are inevitably driven from the disk if the vertical component of the black hole (BH) gravity cannot resist the radiation force. We derive the mass loss rate in the outflows by solving a dynamical equation for the vertical gas…

Wind is believed to be widespread in various black hole accretion flows. However, unlike the wind from thin disks, which have substantial observational evidence, the wind from hot accretion flows is difficult to observe due to the extremely…

We present a versatile family of model galactic outflows including non-uniform mass and energy source distributions, a gravitational potential from an extended mass source, and radiative losses. The model easily produces steady-state wind…

Photoevaporation is an important dispersal mechanism for protoplanetary disks. We conduct hydrodynamic simulations coupled with ray-tracing radiative transfer and consistent thermochemistry to study photoevaporative winds driven by…

We present a model for one cycle of a classical nova outburst based on a self-consistent wind mass loss accelerated by the gradient of radiation pressure, i.e., the so-called optically thick winds. Evolution models are calculated by a…

We show that in highly multimoded nonlinear photonic systems, the optical thermodynamic pressures emerging from different species of the optical field obey Dalton's law of partial pressures. In multimode settings, the optical thermodynamic…

Dwarf Novae and low-mass X-ray binaries are eruptive binary systems comprised of a Roche-lobe overflowing solar-type star and an accreting compact object. Their recurrence time can be explained by a low-accreting phase, the quiescence,…

Radiatively-driven transfer flow perpendicular to a luminous disk is examined in the relativistic regime of $(v/c)^2$, taking into account the gravity of the central object. The flow is assumed to be vertical, and the gas pressure as well…

We consider the effects of "photon bubble" shock trains on the vertical structure of radiation pressure-dominated accretion disks. These density inhomogeneities are expected to develop spontaneously in radiation-dominated accretion disks…

New X-ray polarisation results are challenging our understanding of the accretion flow geometry in black hole binary systems. Even spectra dominated by a standard disc can give unexpected results, such as the high inclination black hole…

We study AGN line driven disc winds using time-dependent radiation hydrodynamics. The key criterion for determining wind launching is the coupling strength of the UV radiation field via the spectral lines of the gas. The strength of these…

In this chapter, we summarize recent progress on the properties of accretion disks when the accretion rate exceeds the so-called Eddington limit based on multi-dimensional radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations. We first summarize the…

The UV spectra of nova-like variables are dominated by emission from the accretion disk, modified by scattering in a wind emanating from the disk. Here we model the spectra of RW Tri and UX UMa, the only two eclipsing nova-likes which have…

Mass transfer (MT) in binary systems is a common evolutionary process that can significantly affect the structure, evolution, and final fate of both stars. In modeling MT hydrodynamics, it is usually assumed that the critical point of the…

Ultra Fast Outflows (UFOs) are an established feature in X-ray spectra of AGNs. According to the standard picture, they are launched at accretion disc scales with relativistic velocities, up to 0.3-0.4 c. Their high kinetic power is enough…
