Black Hole Gravitohydromagnetics

Black hole gravitohydromagnetics (GHM) is developed from the rudiments to the frontiers of research in this book. This second edition of the book is updated throughout and contains a completely new chapter discussing the state-of-the-art.

Presents to the researcher and PhD student the fundamental subjects that are necessary to understand the interaction between the gravitational field of a rotating black hole and a plasma-filled magnetosphere Discusses details of energy extraction from a rotation black hole by magnetic fields Presents the latest results of numerical simulations of ergospheric jet formation in an accretion flow
