We study the heat conduction of a cold, thermal cloud in a highly asymmetric trap. The cloud is axially hydrodynamic, but due to the asymmetric trap radially collisionless. By locally heating the cloud we excite a thermal dipole mode and…
We examine the effects of a hydrodynamical wind on advection dominated accretion flows with thermal conduction in the presence of a toroidal magnetic field under a self-similar treatment. The disk gas is assumed to be isothermal. For a…
