Extraction of Black Hole Rotational Energy by a Magnetic Field
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
We have developed a numerical method for general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations in Kerr space-time. The method is applied to the basic astrophysical problem of the Kerr black hole activity in the large-scale strong magnetic field. The numerical result shows that the magnetic field extracts the rotational energy of the black hole with negative energy-at-infinity and the torsional Alfven wave is induced from the ergosphere.
