This paper explores the effects of large-scale magnetic fields in hot accretion flows for asymmetric
configurations with respect to the equatorial plane. The solutions that we have found
show that the large-scale asymmetric magnetic field can significantly affect the dynamics of
the flow and also cause notable outflows in the outer parts. Previously, we treated a viscous
resistive accreting disc in the presence of an odd symmetric B-field about the equatorial plane.
Now, we extend our earlier work by taking into account another configuration of large-scale
magnetic field that is no longer symmetric.We provide asymmetric field structures with small
deviations from even and odd symmetric B-field. Our results show that the discâs dynamics
and appearance become different above and below the equatorial plane. The set of solutions
also predicts that even a small deviation in a symmetric field causes the disc to compress on
one side and expand on the other. In some cases, our solution represents a very strong outflow
from just one side of the disc. Therefore, the solution may potentially explain the origin of
one-sided jets in radio galaxies.
