Extreme Scale Height Variations and Nozzle Shocks in Warped Disks by Nicholas Kaaz, Yoram Lithwick, Matthew Liska, Alexander Tchekhovskoy

“…Sufficiently strong warps cause extreme compressions of the scale height, which fluid parcels “bounce” off of twice per orbit to high latitudes. We study the dynamics of strong warps using (i) the nearly analytic “ring theory” of Fairbairn & Ogilvie, which we generalize to the Kerr metric, and (ii) three-dimensional general-relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of tori (“rings”) around BHs, using the H-AMR code. …”
