Enhanced Angular Momentum Transport in Accretion Disks
The status of our current understanding of angular momentum transport in accretion disks is reviewed. The last decade has seen a dramatic increase both in the recognition of key physical processes and in our ability to carry through direct numerical simulations of turbulent flow. Magnetic fields have at once powerful and subtle influences on the behavior of (sufficiently) ionized gas, rendering...
متن کاملAngular momentum transport in thin accretion disks and intermittent accretion.
The plasma modes, transporting angular momentum in accretion disks, under minimally restrictive conditions when the magnetic energy density is significant relative to the thermal energy density, are shown to be singular if the ideal MHD approximation is adopted. A similarity with the modes producing magnetic reconnection in current carrying plasmas is established. The combined effects of finite...
متن کاملThe angular momentum of dark halos: merger and accretion effects
We present new results on the angular momentum evolution of dark matter halos. Halos, from N-body simulations, are classified according to their mass growth histories into two categories: the accretion category contains halos whose mass has varied continuously and smoothly, while the merger category contains halos which have undergone sudden and significant mass variations (greater than 1/3 of ...
متن کاملAngular Momentum Transport in Simulations of Accretion Disks
In this paper we briefly discuss the ways in which angular momentum transport is included in simulations of non-self-gravitating accretion disks, concentrating on disks in close binaries. Numerical approaches fall in two basic categories; particle based Lagrangian schemes, and grid based Eulerian techniques. Underlying the choice of numerical technique are assumptions that are made about disk p...
متن کاملSpin angular momentum of inhomogeneous and transversely limited light beams
The spin angular momentum (AM) of a light beam appears due to presence of circular or elliptic polarization. Its characterization is coupled with some paradoxical features which are commonly recognized but, to our opinion, are not satisfactorily explained in the known literature. Namely, for a spatially-homogeneous circularly polarized beam, the spin AM density is zero at every point of the bea...
