Image simulation of black hole shadow ("silhouette") images based on a possible accretion flow model.

Three cases of the disk inclination angle 15˚, 45˚, and 85˚ are shown. The observation frequency is 345 GHz. It is expected that black hole shadow can be observed in future mm/sub-mm VLBI observation.
