Toy model for a two-dimensional accretion disk dominated by Poynting flux
Abstract
We discuss the effect of the Poynting flow on the 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 by the rotating magnetic field with Keplerian angular velocity can balance the energy and angular momentum conservation of a steady accretion flow.
