Relativistic low angular momentum accretion in 3D

Petra Sukova, Szymon Charzyński and Agnieszka Janiuk

We study the low angular momentum accretion of matter onto Schwarzschild or Kerr black hole using fully relativistic numerical simulations. Our aim is to include the rotation of both the gas and the black hole and the presence of the magnetic field into the picture. We compare resulting structure of transonic  flow with results of 1D pseudo-Newtonian semi-analytical computations of non-magnetized  flow.
