Using a generalized non-spherical, multi-transonic accretion flow model, we analytically calculate the normalized QPO frequency ${\bar {\bf {\nu}}}_{qpo}$ of galactic black hole candidates in terms of dynamical flow variables and self-consistently study the dependence of ${\bar {\bf {\nu}}}_{qpo}$ on such variables. Our results are in fairly close agreement with the observed QPO frequencies of GRS 1915+105. We find that ${\bar {\bf {\nu}}}_{qpo}$ is quite sensitive to various parameters… Expand
