Tilted Disks Around Black Holes: Elucidating the Alignment Mechanism Renewal Proposal

John Hawley, University of Virginia

Usage Details

This proposal requests HPC resources on Blue Waters through GLCPC to continue our ongoing investigation of accretion onto a spinning black hole in which there is a misalignment between the orbital axis of the incoming gas and the black hole rotation axis. The unique capabilities of Blue Waters enables key linchpin high-resolution simulations that support a wider effort involving a suite of less demanding simulations on other platforms.
