Thick Disk Accretion

Thick Disk Accretion is a theoretical model of accretion processes in which the accreting plasma forms a geometrically thick, optically thin, radiation-inefficient structure around a compact object, distinguished from thin disk models by its pressure-supported vertical equilibrium and advective energy transport.
