Toy model for a two-dimensional accretion disk dominated by Poynting flux
Journal Article

· Physical Review D
We discuss the effect of the Poynting flux on a magnetically dominated thin accretion disk, which is simplified to a two-dimensional disk on the equatorial plane. It is shown in the relativistic formulation that the Poynting flux caused by a rotating magnetic field with Keplerian angular velocity can balance the energy and angular momentum conservation of a stationary accretion flow.
