Description
Observations of X-ray binaries containing black holes indicate the presence of geometrically thick, hot, dynamic Compton cloud around the black hole to satisfactorily explain it’s spectral and temporal properties. In this work, I present results of a few high resolution, 3D hydrodynamic simulations of such Compton cloud around a non-rotating black hole. Our results demonstrate that the formation of stable, geometrically thick, torus is indeed possible for various accretion flow parameters.
