Abstract We have solved the set of equations for advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) around black holes, and found a new class of global solutions with standing radial shocks.Such α-X-type shocks may exist in flows when 0 ≤ α < 0.05. An example solution is given explicitly, for which α=0.01 and γ=1.5. The shock position is Rsh=8.68Rg, which is between the inner sonic point Rs1=3.88Rg and the outer sonic point Rs2=85.92Rg.
