Velocity map of dissipation induced plumes
Flow patterns in Model 14A at 9.48 s on a larger
scale (50000 km). This figure shows, for a calculation in which no
neutrino energy deposition was included, powerful outflows still
developing with speeds exceeding 40,000 km/s and moving outwards at
approximately 15 to 40 degrees off axis. As they approach the surface
(not shown) the velocity increases and mildly relativistic mass
ejection may occur. These outflows are absent in Model 14B with a low
disk viscosity. The black regions are still accreting and continue to
feed the accretion disk and black hole.
