The α-disk radial surface density profile predicted by the agnspec code for a 108M⊙ BH with Eddington ratio 0.03, compared with the surface density profile in the simulation. The red shaded region indicates the radial range where the simulation is in inflow equilibrium. The simulation surface density is lower than the agnspec prediction by ∼2 orders of magnitude.
