Modelling the Transition Layer of an Accretion Disk with a Burgers Vortex

  • Published:
Astrophysics Aims and scope

The possibility of representing the transition (boundary) layer of an accretion disk around young stellar objects as a Burgers vortex is examined. The basic physical and geometrical characteristics of the transition layer are obtained. It is shown that, depending on the parameters of the system, the transition layer as a Burgers vortex can produce a bipolar outflow (active phase) or ensure the capture of accreting matter by the central body.
