Scientific paper

We present results from global 2D and 3D GRMHD simulations of accretion disks around black holes. We include simplified radiative cooling in our work and results are reported for both spinning and non-spinning black holes. The emphasis is on the implications of the results for measuring the spin of black holes in Galactic X-Ray binaries using the continuum-fitting method. In particular, we compare and contrast our simulation results to simpler hydrodynamical results and the standard disk theory of Novikov and Thorne (1973).
