Description
In transonic advective accretion flows, the presence of a shock gives rise to a hot, dense post-shock region that can act as the launching site of outflows. When viscosity is included, dissipation within this region increases the thermal energy of the flow, leading to a stronger pressure gradient that can drive more efficient mass ejection. The resulting outflows are not necessarily symmetric with respect to the equatorial plane. In this work, we explore the dynamical behaviour and structural properties of such asymmetric inflow-outflows using hydrodynamical numerical simulations. Our results suggest that the degree of asymmetry is controlled by the flow-specific energy and the specific angular momentum of the flow. In addition, viscous transport of angular momentum plays a crucial role in shaping the geometry and strength of the outflow, as it alters the distribution of angular momentum within the disc.
