Abstract: (arXiv)
We study viscous accretion disc around black holes, and all possible accretion solutions, including shocked as well as shock free accretion branches. Shock driven bipolar outflows from a viscous accretion disc around a black hole has been investigated. One can identify two critical viscosity parameters αcl\alpha_{cl} and αcu\alpha_{cu}, within which the stationary shocks may occur, for each set of boundary conditions. Adiabatic shock has been found for upto viscosity parameter α=0.3\alpha=0.3, while in presence of dissipation and massloss we have found stationary shock upto α=0.15\alpha=0.15. The mass outflow rate may increase or decrease with the change in disc parameters, and is usually around few to 10% of the mass inflow rate. We show that for the same outer boundary condition, the shock front decreases to a smaller distance with the increase of α\alpha. We also show that the increase in dissipation reduces the thermal driving in the post-shock disc, and hence the mass outflow rate decreases upto a few %.
