# Structure of a hot accretion flow in the presence of outflow and convection with large ordered magnetic field

## TL;DR

This paper investigates how convection, magnetic fields, and outflows influence the structure of hot accretion flows, revealing that strong convection and magnetic components significantly alter flow dynamics and disc thickness.

## Contribution

The study introduces a self-similar model of hot accretion flows incorporating convection, large-scale magnetic fields, and outflows, highlighting their combined effects on flow properties.

## Key findings

- Strong convection slows inflow rotation and increases temperature and thickness.
- Magnetic field components have opposite effects on disc thickness.
- Flow velocities are similarly affected by magnetic field components.

## Abstract

Hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamic simulations of hot accretion flow have indicated that there is an inward decreasing of mass accretion rate with decreasing radius. Consequently, we have a flatter density profile ($\rho \propto r^{-p}$ with $p\propto 1.5-s$ in the case of $\dot{M}\propto r^{s}$, $0 \leq s<1$) compared to the case of a constant accretion rate (($\rho \propto r^{-\frac{3}{2}}$). In order to describe this behavior two models have been proposed: inflow-outflow solution and convection-dominated accretion flows. We have studied the properties of a hot accretion flow in the presence of convection, large scale magnetic field and outflow. We consider an axisymmetric viscous flow in the steady state. We used the self-similar solutions to solve the 1.5 dimensional inflow-outflow equations. We have assumed that the convection as a free parameter in our model for simplicity. We have considered two components of magnetic field (toroidal and vertical) in this paper. We have shown that the strong convection makes the inflow accretes and rotates slower while it becomes hotter and thicker. We have found that the thickness of the disc deviates from non-convective solutions obviously. We have represented that two components of magnetic field have the opposite effects on the thickness of the disc and similar effects on the radial and angular velocities of the flow.
