Can a Wind Model Mimic a Convection-Dominated Accretion Flow Model?

In this paper we investigate the properties of advection-dominated accretion flows(ADAFs) in case that outflows carry away infalling matter with its angular momentum and energy.Positive Bernoulli numbers in ADAFs allow a fraction of the gas qf1510 to be ex-pelled in a form of outflows.The ADAFs are also unstable to convection.

We present self-similar solutions for advection-dominated accretion flows in the presence of out-flows from the accretion flows (ADIOS).The axisymmetric flow is treated in variables integrated over polar sections and the effects of outflows on the accretion rlow are parameterized for possible configurations compatible with the one dimensional self-similar ADAF solution.We explicitly derive self-similar solutions of ADAFs in the presence hammont clear acrylic boxes of outflows and show that the strong outflows in the accretion flows result in a flatter density profile, which is similar to that of the convection-dominated accretion flows (CDAFs) in which convection transports the a! ngular momentum inward and the energy outward.

These two different versions of the ADAF model should show similar behaviors in X-ray spectrum to some extent.Even though the two models may show similar behaviors, they should be distinguishable due to different physical properties.We suggest that for a central object of which mass is known these two different accretion flows should have different X-ray flux value due to deficient matter in the wind model.
