Black Hole Accretion Disks and Jets: Connecting Simulations and Theory

In recent years, general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations have produced more realistic models for black hole disks and jets. However the complexity of the simulations has created a disconnect between simulations and theory: it is often unclear whether the simulated physics is co...
