We define the ratio of the neutrino cooling rate to the viscous heating rate per unit volume, f=-qJqvis. The ignition region is presented when f〉0.5. The solutions show that NDAF is significantly thick. The ignition region is determined by the mass accretion rate and the vis- cosity parameter, which can be considered as the neutrino radiation-dominated region.展开更多
