description

It is well known that rotating inviscid accretion flows with adequate injection parameters around black holes could form shock waves close to the black holes, after the flow passes through the outer sonic point and can be virtually stopped by the centrifugal force. Such shock waves in 2D accretion flows are examined by 2D radiation hydrodynamical calculations. We also examine super‐Eddington accretion disks with 15 ṀE around black holes, focusing on a small collimation degree of the jet and a large mass‐outflow rate observed in the X‐ray source SS 433.
