Nonrelativistic Keplerian specific angular momentum (blue; l Kep = r 1/2) and MAD (red) normalized angular momentum flux vs. radius for a = 0.9. The BH horizon radius r H is the lower x-axis limit, and the ISCO radius r ISCO is shown by the vertical dashed line. The angular momentum in the hydrodynamic flow in the MAD, l HD,MAD, is sub-Keplerian as the gas falls onto the BH, indicating that some mechanism is robbing the disk of angular momentum thereby depriving the BH of the angular momentum supply.
