We study time evolution of sub-Keplerian transonic accretion flows onto black holes using a general relativistic numerical simulation code. We perform simulations in Schwarzschild spacetime. We first compare one-dimensional simulation results with theoretical results and validate the performance of our code. Next, we present results of axisymmetric, two-dimensional simulation of advective flows. We find that even in this case, for which no complete theoretical analysis is present in the literature, steady state shock formation is possible.

Simulation based parameter space for shock in transonic, sub-Keplerian accretion flow onto non-rotating black holes
astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

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 prod...
