Adiabatic Index in Fluid Models of Collisionless Black Hole Accretion

Models of highly sub-Eddington accretion onto black holes commonly use a single-fluid model for the collisionless, near-horizon plasma. These models must specify an equation of state. It is common to use an ideal gas with p  = ( γ  − 1) u and γ  = 4/3, 13/9, or 5/3, but these produce significantly d...
