Abstract
Solutions of magnetofluid accretion disk with negligible self-gravitation have been obtained in the background of the Schwarzschild spacetime for differential as well as rigid rotation. The constraint equations for the magnetic field components have also been derived. It is shown that the magnetic field plays an important role in confining the fluid flow.
