A fluid between two spheres, concentric or not, at different temperatures will flow in the presence of a constant gravitational force. Although there is no possible hydrostatic state, energy transport is dominated by diffusion if…

We study the time evolution of sub-Keplerian transonic accretion flow onto a non-rotating black hole using a three-dimensional, inviscid hydrodynamics simulation code. Prior two-dimensional simulations show that centrifugal barrier in the…

Thin viscous Keplerian accretion disks are considered asymptotically stable, even though they can show significant dynamic activity on short timescales. In this paper the dynamics of non-axisymmetric hydrodynamical disturbances of disks are…

In the present study time evolution of quasi-spherical polytropic accretion flow with toroidal magnetic field is investigated. The study especially focused the astrophysically important case in which the adiabatic exponent $\gamma=5/3$. In…

The main objective of this article is part of a research program to link the dynamics of fluid flows with the structure and its transitions in the physical spaces. As a prototype of problem and to demonstrate the main ideas, we study the…

Low angular momentum accretion flows very often have centrifugal pressure supported standing shock waves which can accelerate flow particles. The accelerated particles in turn emit synchrotron radiation in presence of magnetic fields.…

We study the 2-D, time-dependent hydrodynamics of radiation-driven winds from accretion disks in which the radiation force is mediated by spectral lines. If the dominant contribution to the total radiation field comes from the disk, then we…

We present a numerical method for studying the normal modes of accretion flows around black holes. In this first paper, we focus on two-dimensional, viscous, hydrodynamic disks, for which the linear modes have been calculated analytically…

We investigate the processes that lead to the generation of mean flows in two-dimensional anelastic convection. The simple model consists of a plane layer that is rotating about an axis inclined to gravity. The results are two-fold: firstly…

We present a modified description of advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAF) with a geometrical viscosity. A simplified treatment of the dynamics of the flow in the inner relativistic part is suggested and results are compared with the…

We study the stability of poloidal magnetic fields anchored in a thin accretion disc. The two-dimensional hydrodynamics in the disc plane is followed by a grid-based numerical simulation including the vertically integrated magnetic forces.…

Radiatively inefficient accretion flows onto black holes are unstable due to both an outwardly decreasing entropy (`convection') and an outwardly decreasing rotation rate (the `magnetorotational instability'; MRI). Using a linear…

We describe astrophysical processes around a black hole keeping primarily the physics of accretion in mind. In Section 1, we briefly discuss the formation, evolution and detection of black holes. We also discuss the difference of flow…

We present three-dimensional MHD simulations of rotating radiatively inefficient accretion flows onto black holes. In the simulations, we continuously inject magnetized matter into the computational domain near the outer boundary, and we…

Convection is the main heat transport mechanism in the Earth's liquid core and is thought to power the dynamo that generates the geomagnetic field. Core convection is strongly constrained by rotation while being turbulent. Given the…

We have developed a three-dimensional numerical model and applied it to simulate plasma flows in semi-detached binary systems whose accretor possesses a strong intrinsic magnetic field. The model is based on the assumption that the plasma…

A hydrodynamic formulation for accretion flow channeled by a dipolar magnetic field is constructed using a curvi-linear coordinate system natural to the field structure. We solve the hydrodynamic equations and determine the velocity,…

Patterns of convection in internally heated, self-gravitating rotating spherical fluid shells are investigated through numerical simulations. While turbulent states are of primary interest in planetary and stellar applications the present…

We revisit the vertical structure of neutrino-dominated accretion flows in spherical coordinates. We stress that the flow should be geometrically thick when advection becomes dominant. In our calculation, the luminosity of neutrino…

We propose that the prevalence of bipolarity in Young Stellar Objects is due to the fine tuning that is required for spherical accretion of an ambient medium onto a central node.It is shown that there are two steady modes that are more…
