Radiation hydrodynamic simulations of super-Eddington accretion flows
Abstract
We perform the two-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamic simulations to study the radiation pressure-dominated accretion flows around a black hole (BH). Our simulations show that the highly supercritical accretion flow (mass accretion rate is much larger than the critical value) is composed of the disk region and the outflow region above the disk.
