      <Title>Thermal and Dynamical Models of Broad Line Regions in AGN - Testing Virial Estimators of Black Hole Masses.</Title>
      
      <Abstract>Most important and useful methods of measuring masses of super-massive black holes use properties 
of AGN, in particular, properties of broad emission lines. Those methods assume that the regions where 
those lines are formed are virialized systems. We propose to study dynamics and kinematics 
of multi-phase flows in the vicinity of the central black hole in AGN. Our study will be based on numerical,
time-dependent, fully three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations taking into account black hole
gravity, pressure due to gas and radiation, radiative heating and cooling, and gas rotation. Therefore, 
our simulations will follow gas that will be subject to thermal and hydrodynamical instabilities
which will lead to formation and evolution of cold clouds and filaments surrounded by a hot gas. 
By measuring the kinematic properties of the simulated clouds, we will investigate what is required for the 
clouds to form a virialized system and whether the assumption of the virialized system holds for objects 
with low as well as high luminosities.</Abstract>
