Steady accretion disk with arbitrary rotation law
ID: steady-accretion-disk-with-arbitrary-rotation-law
For inward accretion rate , the steady conservation of angular momentum equation is when the inner torque vanishes. The viscous torque in an accretion disk is , where and is the orbital shear parameter. ThusThe familiar Keplerian accretion disk follows when and . The general form also applies to the non-Keplerian Paczyński-Wiita circular orbit rotation law.
