Scientific paper

An approximation theory of the acceleration of particles in low-density shear flows is developed and is applied to a number of astrophysical flows including accretion disks, radial accretion, and convective turbulence. In the disk application, the theory suggests a mechanism by which the bulk of the accretion power may be converted to particle acceleration. The model successfully explains intense nonthermal phenomena arising in the inner parts of accretion discs around black holes such as AGNs and stellar X-ray sources like Cygnus X-1.
