    Stability of accretion disk around rotating black holes: a pseudo-general-relativistic fluid dynamical study
    (2012-03-13) Mukhopadhyay, B.
    We discuss the solution of accretion disk when the black hole is chosen to be rotating. We study, how the fluid properties get affected for different rotation parameters of the black hole. We know that no cosmic object is static in Universe. Here the effect of the rotation of the black hole to the space-time is considered following an earlier work of the author, where the pseudo-Newtonian potential was prescribed for the Kerr geometry. We show that, with the inclusion of rotation of the black hole, the valid disk parameter region dramatically changes and disk becomes unstable. Also we discuss about the possibility of shock in accretion disk around rotating black holes. When the black hole is chosen to be rotating, the sonic locations of the accretion disk get shifted or disappear, making the disk unstable. To bring it in the stable situation, the angular momentum of the accreting matter has to be reduced/enhanced (for co/counter-rotating disk) by means of some physical process

    Pseudo-Newtonian Potentials to Describe the Temporal Effects on Relativistic Accretion Disks around Rotating Black Holes and Neutron Stars
    (2002-01-02) Mukhopadhyay, B.; Misra, Ranjeev
    Two pseudo-Newtonian potentials, which approximate the angular and epicyclic frequencies of the relativistic accretion disk around rotating (and counter rotating) compact objects, are presented. One of them, the Logarithmically Modified Potential, is a better approximation for the frequencies while the other, the Second-order Expanded potential, also reproduces the specific energy for circular orbits in close agreement with the General Relativistic values. These potentials may be included in time dependent hydrodynamical simulations to study the temporal behavior of such accretion disks

    Generalized shock solutions for hydrodynamic black hole accretion
    (2002-12-15) Das, Tapas K.
    For the first time, all available pseudo-Schwarzschild potentials are exhaustively used to investigate the possibility of shock formation in hydrodynamic, invicid, black hole accretion discs. It is shown that a significant region of parameter space spanned by important accretion parameters allows shock formation for flow in all potentials used in this work. This leads to the conclusion that the standing shocks are essential ingredients in accretion discs around non-rotating black holes in general. Using a complete general relativistic framework, equations governing multitransonic black hole accretion and wind are also formulated and solved in the Schwarzschild metric. Shock solutions for accretion flow in various pseudo potentials are then compared with such general relativistic solutions to identify which potential is the best approximation of Schwarzschild space-time as far as the question of shock formation in black hole accretion discs is concerned.

    Description of pseduo-Newtonina potential for the relativistic accretion disk around kerr black holes
    (2002-04-01) Mukhopadhyay, B.
    We present a pseudo-Newtonian potential for accretion disk modeling around the rotating black holes. This potential can describe the general relativistic effects on accretion disk. As the inclusion of rotation in a proper way is very important at an inner edge of disk the potential is derived from the Kerr metric. This potential can reproduce all the essential properties of general relativity within 10% error even for rapidly rotating black holes.

    Effect of dissipative corona on the structure and stability of cold optically thick accretion disks at high accretion rates
    (2002-03-20) Misra, Ranjeev; Taam, Ronald E.
    The vertical structure of optically thick accretion disks is investigated in the two-zone approximation. The disk is divided into an underlying disk and a corona, where the latter is defined as the upper surface layers for which the effective optical depth is unity. It is found that a significant part of the accretion flow (or dissipation rate) can take place in the corona if the scale height of the magnetic field is larger than that of the disk. The presence of such a dissipative corona leads to a modification in the topology of local disk solutions. For example, these solutions are found from local stability analysis to be both secularly and thermally stable, for accretion rates which are a factor ≈ four higher than those inferred from the stability of standard disk solutions. Thus, the applicability of optically thick disks with dissipative coronas are not as restrictive as disks without such coronas and can provide an attractive explanation for the origin of the soft spectral component observed in black hole X-ray binary systems.
