We investigate the viscous two temperature accretion discs around rotating black holes. We describe the global solution of accretion flows with a sub-Keplerian angular momentum profile, by solving the underlying conservation equations…
We have analyzed pair production in the innermost region of a two-temperature external soft photon comptonized accretion disk. We have shown that, if the viscosity parameter is greater than a temperature and r dependent critical value, the…
The local stability of accretion disks with advection is studied together with the considerations of radial viscous force and thermal diffusion. For a geometrically thin, radiative cooling dominated disk, the thermal diffusion has nearly no…
We present an approach to deriving global properties of accretion disks from the knowledge of local solutions derived from numerical simulations based on the shearing box approximation. The approach consists of a two-step procedure. First a…
All high temperature accretion solutions including ADAF are physically thick, so outgoing radiation interacts with the incoming flow, sharing as much or more resemblance with classical spherical accretion flows as with disk flows. We…
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-dominated disks are geometrically thick, i.e., with the…
We derive all relevant equations needed for constructing a global general relativistic model of advectively cooled, very hot, optically thin accretion disks around black holes and present solutions which describe advection dominated flows…
We provide a unified description of thermal equilibria of black hole accretion disks, including the newly-discovered advection-dominated solutions. We classify the solutions on the basis of optical depth and importance of advection cooling.…
We find a new two-temperature hot branch of equilibrium solutions for stationary accretion disks around black holes. In units of Eddington accretion rate defined as $10L_{\rm Edd}/c^2$, the accretion rates to which these solutions…
The conventional thermal instability criterion can not be applied to the advection-dominated accretion disks around black holes where the radiative cooling is insufficient to balance the viscous heating. The surface density change…
We report all possible basic solutions of an advective disk model and use them to explain major observations from black hole candidates.
In this thesis, I study hydrodynamical models of slim accretion disks --- advective, optically thick disks which generalize the standard models of radiatively efficient thin disks to all accretion rates. I start with a general introduction…
Ten years have passed since the global solutions of advective accretion disks around black holes and neutron stars were first discovered. Since then they are enjoying support from observers almost on a daily basis, more so in recent days…
A toy model of a disk undergoing steady state accretion onto a black hole is presented. The disk is in a hydrostatic equilibrium for all radii r > r_{in}, with the inner disk radius located between the marginally stable and marginally bound…
We investigate the structure and stability of hypercritical accretion flows around stellar-mass black holes, taking into account neutrino cooling, lepton conservation, and firstly a realistic equation of state in order to properly treat the…
(Abridged) We study the dynamical evolution of a stationary, axisymmetric, and perfectly conducting cold accretion disk containing a large-scale magnetic field around a Kerr black hole, trying to understand the relation between accretion…
We study the thermal structure of the widely adopted two-dimensional advection dominated accretion flow (ADAF) of Narayan & Yi (1995a). The critical radius for a given mass accretion rate, outside of which the optically thin hot solutions…
We investigate the behaviour of dissipative accreting matter close to a black hole as it provides the important observational features of galactic and extra-galactic black holes candidates. We find the complete set of global solutions in…
A self-consistent solution for a thin accretion disk with turbulent convection is presented. The disk viscosity and the convective flux are derived from a physical model for turbulence, and expressed in terms of the local physical…
We consider supercritical accretion onto a compact object when the accretion rate exceeds its value derived from the Eddington limit: L_{Edd}/c^2. We use the scenario that was proposed by Shakura and Sunyaev (1973) for the supercritical…
