Description

Hot accretion flows around black holes can produce strong wind. These winds are important not only because they are an important ingredient in accretion dynamics, but also play an important role in AGN feedback. In this talk, we will first briefly review the history of wind study, then focus on introducing the properties of wind such as its mass flux and velocity. These properties are obtained by analyzing the 3D GRMHD numerical simulation data using a virtual particle trajectory approach. At last, we will compare the properties of wind and jet.
