Multi-dimensional simulations show that the parameter space for shocks in non-dissipative transonic sub-Keplerian accretion flows is substantially larger than the analytic prediction, with dynamic boundary layers producing outflows.

abstract
We perform 1D/2D/3D relativistic hydrodynamical simulations of accretion flows with low angular momentum, filling the gap between spherically symmetric Bondi accretion and disc-like accretion flows. Scenarios with different directional distributions of angular momentum of falling matter and varying values of key parameters such as spin of central black hole, energy and angular momentum of matter are considered. In some of the scenarios the shock front is formed. We identify ranges of parameters for which the shock after formation moves towards or outwards the central black hole or the long lasting oscillating shock is observed. The frequencies of oscillations of shock positions which can cause flaring in mass accretion rate are extracted. The results are scalable with mass of central black hole and can be compared to the quasi-periodic oscillations of selected microquasars (such as GRS 1915+105, XTE J1550-564 or IGR J17091-3624), as well as to the supermassive black holes in the centres of weakly active galaxies, such as Sgr $A^{*}$.

Simulation based parameter space for shock in transonic, sub-Keplerian accretion flow onto non-rotating black holes
Multi-dimensional simulations show that the parameter space for shocks in non-dissipative transonic sub-Keplerian accretion flows is substantially larger than the analytic prediction, with dynamic boundary layers producing outflows.
