On the nature of angular momentum transport in nonradiative accretion flows

The principles underlying a proposed class of black hole accretion models are examined. The flows are generally referred to as " convection-dominated " and are characterized by inward transport of angular momentum by thermal convection and outward viscous transport, vanishing mass accretio...
