Mass loss from viscous advective disc

Abstract: Rotating transonic flows are long known to admit standing or oscillating shocks. The excess thermal energy in the post shock flow drives a part of the in falling matter as bipolar outflows. We compute mass loss from a viscous advective disc. We show that the mass outflow rate decreases with increasing viscosity of the accretion disc, since viscosity weakens the centrifugal barrier that generates the shock. We also show that the optical depth of the post-shock matter decreases due to mass loss which may soften … Show more

“…The post-shock region of the disc (PSD), has some special properties. Apart from producing hard powerlaw photons, it was shown for an inviscid disc via numerical simulations, that the extra thermal gradient force in the PSD powers bipolar jets (Molteni et al 1994(Molteni et al , 1996a, and was later established for viscous disc as well (Lanzafame et al 1998;Chattopadhyay & Das 2007;Das & Chattopadhyay 2008;Das et al 2014;. Moreover, since the jet originates from PSD (which extends from few to few tens of Schwarzschild radii) and not the entire disc, it satisfies the observational criteria that jets are generated from the inner part of the accretion disc (Junor et.…”

“…This simplifies the jet structure and make the problem tractable analytically. With these considerations, the jet streamline and the associated cross-section depend on the disc parameters like E and λ, as well as on the spin of the BH, which is a major improvement on the jet geometry assumed in the pseudo-Newtonian regime (Chattopadhyay & Das 2007;Aktar et al 2015). Moreover, the jet solution from the disc is launched with very low velocity along the streamline, but becomes supersonic at a short distance from the base of the jet.…”

“…2014). Theoretically too, for a viscous advective disc, the mass outflow rate of bipolar outflow was computed in terms of various accretion disc parameters (Chattopadhyay & Das 2007;. However, jets emerging from the PSD in the steady state and hydrodynamic limit are weak.…”
