Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient Generation of Jets from Magnetically Arrested Accretion on a Rapidly Spinning Black Hole
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe global, 3D, time-dependent, non-radiative, general-relativistic, magnetohydrodynamic simulations of accreting black holes (BHs).
Journal ArticleDOI
General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of magnetically choked accretion flows around black holes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied global general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of radially extended and thick (height H to cylindrical radius R ratio of |H/R| {approx} 0.2-1) accretion flows around BHs with various dimensionless spins (a/M, with BH mass M) and with initially toroidally-dominated ({phi}-directed) and poloidallydominated (R-z directed) magnetic fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harm: a numerical scheme for general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the Harten, Lax, and van Leer scheme is used to evolve the equations of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics, and it converges at second order on smooth flows.
Journal ArticleDOI
General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the jet formation and large-scale propagation from black hole accretion systems
TL;DR: In this article, the formation and large-scale propagation of Poynting-dominated jets produced by accreting, rapidly rotating black hole systems are studied by numerically integrating the general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic equations of motion to follow the self-consistent interaction between accretion discs and black holes.
