To reveal the basic physics of magnetic fields around a black hole through the dynamic process, we use one-dimensional (1D) FFMD along the axisymmetric magnetic surface, which provides a relatively simple, sufficiently precise, and powerful tool to analyze the dynamic process around a spinning black hole. We review the analytic and numerical aspects of 1D FFMD for an arbitrary magnetic surface around a black hole. In addition, we also show some numerical simulation test results for three types of magnetic surfaces at the equatorial plane of the black hole.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-11T01:22:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spinning black hole", "arbitrary magnetic surface", "one-dimensional force-free magnetodynamics", "test calculations", "numerical methods" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 40, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
