The linear stability of a shocked isothermal accretion flow onto a black hole is investigated in the inviscid limit. The outer shock solution, which was previously found to be stable with respect to axisymmetric perturbations, is, however,…

Motivated by the newest progress in geometric flows both in mathematics and physics, we apply the geometric evolution equation to study some black-hole problems. Our results show that, under certain conditions, the geometric evolution…

The present work addresses an axisymmetrically accreting black hole system from three perspectives: the astrophysical, the dynamical systems, and the emergent gravity standpoint. Steady-state equations governing low angular momentum axially…

We examine the effect of thermal conduction on the low-angular momentum hot accretion flow (HAF) around non-rotating black holes accreting mass at very low rate. While doing so, we adopt the conductive heat flux in the saturated form, and…

We discuss a special case of formation of axisymmetric shocks in the accretion flow of ideal gas onto a Schwarzschild black hole: when the total energy of the flow is negative. The result of our analysis enlarges the parameter space for…

Entangled magnetic fields entering into an accretion flow would very soon be stretched into a dominant toroidal component due to strong differentially rotating motion inside the accretion disc. This is particularly true for weakly viscous,…
