Spherical Accretion onto Konoplya Zhidenko Black Holes: Sonic Point Analysis and Fluid Dynamics
Abstract
We investigate the spherical accretion onto a static Konoplya Zhidenko black hole and examine how the deformation of the spacetime affects the dynamics of the accreting matter. By applying the conservation laws of particle number and energy-momentum, we formulate the accretion problem and derive the corresponding Hamiltonian describing the fluid motion. The critical points and sonic transitions are then analyzed for ultra stiff, ultra relativistic, radiation, and sub relativistic fluids. We study the dependence of the critical point structure and flow trajectories on the KZ deformation and compare the results with those obtained for asymptotically safe, Schwarzschild MOG, and Reissner Nordström black holes. The comparison shows that the location and behavior of the critical points vary significantly with the underlying BH geometry and the equation of state of the fluid. In particular, the KZ deformation produces noticeable changes in the radial structure of the accretion flow, with different effects observed for the considered fluid models. These results provide a comparative picture of spherical accretion in different black hole spacetimes and help clarify how modifications of the background geometry influence matter dynamics in the strong field region.
