Numerical Simulations of Astrophysical Jets from Keplerian Disks. I. Stationary Models
Abstract
We present 2.5-dimensional time-dependent simulations of the evolution of nonrelativistic outflows from Keplerian accretion disks orbiting low-mass protostars or black holes accreting at sub-Eddington rates. The gas is injected at a very small speed (vinj = 10-3vK) from the surface of the disk (a fixed boundary in our simulations) into a cold corona. The corona is in stable equilibrium and is supported by Alfvénic turbulent pressure. The …
