General relativistic simulations of optically thick accretion disks.
Abstract
Only recently numerical codes solving accretion on black holes in full general relativity with approximated radiative transfer have been developed. Such tools make studies of thin and super-critical, optically thick accretion disks possible. I will report on recent developments in this field putting most attention to hyper-accreting disks.
