Black Holes: Accretion, Shock Waves: Accretion Disks

Scientific paper

This paper mainly discusses the history and present status of the shock-included accretion theory. The analytical studies and numerical simulation works upon R-H and isothermal shocks which possibly occurred in adiabatic and isothermal accretion flows around a black hole in the frames of pseudo-Newtonian potential and general relativistic theory are introduced. They include the parameter space of shock formation, the locations and the strength of shocks and the energy dissipated in the shock. The results show that shocks must occur in non-viscous flows accreted by black holes. In addition, its applications on AGNs are introduced. In the last section the author discusses the relation between ADAF theory and shock-included theory. He also comments upon the widely disputed question of whether shocks can occur in ADAF or not.
