| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have conducted theoretical studies relevant to the gas supply process from active galactic nucleus (AGN) tori to supermassive black hole (SMBH) accretion disks to advance our understanding of the AGN activities. Using multi-dimensional radiation hydrodynamic simulations, we have revealed typical evolutionary patterns of molecular clouds directly exposed to AGN radiation and have shown that the destruction timescales of the clouds are shorter than the dynamical timescales. We have also found that a nearly-neutral, geometrically-thin, dense dusty gas disk forms near the dust sublimation radius and a high-velocity outflow is launched from the disk surface. The mass outflow rate is as large as 20-40 % of the Eddington mass accretion rate under realistic conditions.
