Standing Shocks in Viscous Accretion Flows around Black Holes

  • Published Date: March 31, 2005
  • We study the problem of standing shocks in viscous accretion flows around black holes. We parameterize such a flow with two physical constants, namely the specific angular momentum accreted by the black hole j and the energy quantity K. By providing the global dependence of shock formation in the j-K parameter space, we show that a significant parameter region can ensure solutions with shocks of different types, namely Rankine-Hugoniot shocks, isothermal shocks, and more realistically, mixed shocks.
