Thin Disk Accretion

Thin Disk Accretion is a theoretical model of accretion processes in astrophysics wherein matter spirals inward through a geometrically thin, optically thick, differentially rotating disk, dissipating gravitational energy via viscosity while maintaining approximate hydrostatic equilibrium in the vertical direction.
