===Equilibrium Configuration=== In our [[Apps/PapaloizouPringleTori#Solution|separate discussion of PP84]], we showed that the equilibrium structure of a PP-torus is defined by the enthalpy distribution, <div align="center"> <math> H = \frac{GM_\mathrm{pt}}{\varpi_0} \biggl[ (\chi^2 + \zeta^2)^{-1/2} - \frac{1}{2}\chi^{-2} - C_B^' \biggr] . </math> </div> Normalizing this expression by the enthalpy at the "center" — ''i.e.,'' at the pressure maximum — of the torus which, as we have [[Apps/PapaloizouPringleTori#Pressure_Maximum|already shown]], is <div align="center"> <math> H_0 = \frac{GM_\mathrm{pt}}{2\varpi_0} [1-2C_B^' ] \, </math> </div> gives, <div align="center"> <math> [1-2C_B^' ]\biggl(\frac{H}{H_0}\biggr) = 2(\chi^2 + \zeta^2)^{-1/2} - \chi^{-2} -1 + [1 - 2C_B^' ]. </math> </div> Now, in our review of [[Apps/PapaloizouPringleTori#Model_as_Described_by_Kojima|Kojima's (1986)]] work, we showed that the square of the Mach number at the "center" of the torus is, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\mathfrak{M}_0^2 \equiv \frac{(v_\varphi|_0)^2}{(c_s|_0)^2}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{2(n+1)}{\gamma}\biggl[ \frac{1}{\chi_-} - 1 \biggr]^{-2}</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~2n [ 1- 2C_B^' ]^{-1} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\Rightarrow ~~~~ [1 - 2C_B^'] </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{2n}{\mathfrak{M}_0^2} \, , </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> where, in obtaining this last expression we have related the adiabatic exponent to the polytropic index via the relation, <math>~\gamma = (n+1)/n</math>. Instead of specifying the system's Mach number, [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985MNRAS.216..553B Blaes (1985)] defines the dimensionless parameter, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\beta^2 </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\equiv</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{2n}{\mathfrak{M}_0^2} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Implementing this parameter swap, the equilibrium expression becomes, <div align="center"> <math> \beta^2 \biggl(\frac{H}{H_0}\biggr) = 2(\chi^2 + \zeta^2)^{-1/2} - \chi^{-2} -1 + \beta^2 \, , </math> </div> or, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{H}{H_0} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~1 - \frac{1}{\beta^2}\biggl[\chi^{-2} - 2(\chi^2 + \zeta^2)^{-1/2} + 1 \biggr] \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Looking at Figure 1 of Blaes85 — see also the coordinate definitions given in his equation (2.1) — I conclude that, <div align="center"> <math>~\chi = 1 - x\cos\theta</math> and <math>\zeta = x\sin\theta \, .</math> </div> Hence, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{H}{H_0} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~1 - \frac{1}{\beta^2}\biggl\{ [1 - x\cos\theta]^{-2} - 2[(1 - x\cos\theta)^2 + x^2\sin^2\theta]^{-1/2} + 1 \biggr\} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~1 - \frac{1}{\beta^2}\biggl\{ [1 - x\cos\theta]^{-2} - 2[(1 - 2x\cos\theta + x^2\cos^2\theta) + x^2(1-\cos^2\theta)]^{-1/2} + 1 \biggr\} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~1 - \frac{1}{\beta^2}\biggl[ (1 - x\cos\theta)^{-2} - 2(1 - 2x\cos\theta + x^2)^{-1/2} + 1 \biggr] \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> This matches equation (2.2) of Blaes85, if we acknowledge that Blaes uses <math>~f</math> — instead of the parameter notation, <math>~\Theta_H</math>, found in [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes#Governing_Relations|our discussion of equilibrium polytropic configurations]] — to denote the normalized enthalpy; that is, <div align="center"> <math>~f_\mathrm{Blaes85} = \Theta_H \equiv \frac{H}{H_0} \, .</math> </div> This expression for the enthalpy throughout a Papaloizou-Pringle torus is valid for tori of arbitrary thickness <math>~(0 < \beta < 1)</math>. When considering only slim tori, [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985MNRAS.216..553B Blaes (1985)] points out that this expression can be written in terms of the following power series in <math>~x</math> (see his equation 1.3): <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\Theta_H</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~1 - \frac{1}{\beta^2}\biggl[x^2 + x^3(3\cos\theta - \cos^3\theta) + \mathcal{O}(x^4) \biggr] \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Blaes then adopts a related parameter that is constant on isobaric surfaces, namely, <div align="center"> <math>\eta^2 \equiv 1 - \Theta_H \, ,</math> </div> which is unity at the surface of the torus and which goes to zero at the cross-sectional center of the torus. Notice that <math>~\eta</math> tracks the "radial" coordinate that measures the distance from the center of the torus; in particular, keeping only the leading-order term in <math>~x</math>, there is a simple linear relationship between <math>~\eta</math> and <math>~x</math>, namely, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\eta</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~[1 - \Theta_H]^{1/2} \approx \frac{x}{\beta} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
