Black Holes Could Grow Massive Tsunamis from Outflow Winds According to NASA

Computer simulations from a NASA-funded study suggests that supermassive black holes may generate tsunamis in space from escaping gas.
Astrophysicists have found tsunami-like structures, just like earthquakes and underwater volcanic eruptions may displace enough ocean water to create a tsunami. These 'swirling walls of gas' have barely escape the intense gravitational pull of the supermassive black hole, hosting very giant tsunami-like structures in the universe.

IN SPACE: In this handout from NASA/ESA, an artist's concept illustrates a quasar, or feeding black hole. NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) revealed millions of potential black holes in its survey of the sky in 2011.
Astrophysicist Daniel Proga from University of Las Vegas, Nevada (UNLV) explained that the laws governing the phenomena surrounding the black hole is quite similar to the laws of physics here on Earth. By designing a computer simulation, researchers aim to examine and better understand the interaction of gases and radiation around supermassive black holes.
Interaction of Gases Around Massive Black Holes
Astrophysicists find black holes as naturally mysterious, and how odd they distort their environment within dozens of light years. Sometimes, black holes larger than a million suns create large disks of gas and matter swirling around them and feed off materials from a system called an 'active galactic nucleus'. Theses active galactic nuclei shoot out jets of materials, emitting X-rays so intensely bright that over a million of these objects have been listed by astronomers.
