Viscosity mechanisms in accretion disks
The self-sustained turbulence that develops in magnetized accretion disks is suppressed in the weakly ionized, quiescent disks of close binary stars. Because accretion still proceeds during quiescence, another viscosity mechanism operates in these systems. An anticorrelation of the recurrence times of SU UMa dwarf novae with their mass ratio supports spiral waves or shockwaves tidally induced b...
متن کاملViscosity in Selfgravitating Accretion Disks
We show that the standard model for geometrically thin accretion disks (α-disks) leads to inconsistencies if selfgravity plays a role. This problem arises from the parametrization of viscosity in terms of local sound velocity and vertical disk scale height. A viscosity prescription based on turbulent flows at the critical effective Reynolds number allows for consistent models of thin selfgravit...
متن کاملA note on hydrodynamic viscosity and selfgravitation in accretion disks
We propose a generalized accretion disk viscosity prescription based on hydrodynamically driven turbulence at the critical effective Reynolds number. This approach is consistent with recent re-analysis by Richard & Zahn (1999) of experimental results on turbulent Couette-Taylor flows. This new β-viscosity formulation is applied to both selfgravitating and non-selfgravitating disks and is shown ...
متن کاملAccretion Disks around Young Stars: Lifetimes, Disk Locking and Variability
We report the findings of a comprehensive study of disk accretion and related phenomena in four of the nearest young stellar associations spanning 6-30 million years in age, an epoch that may coincide with the late stages of planet formation. We have obtained ∼650 multi-epoch high-resolution optical spectra of 100 lowmass stars that are likely members of the η Chamaeleontis (∼6 Myr), TW Hydrae ...
متن کاملA Gravitational Instability-Driven Viscosity in Self-Gravitating Accretion Disks
We derive a viscosity from gravitational instability in self-gravitating accretion disks, which has the required properties to account for the observed fast formation of the first super-massive black holes in highly redshifted quasars and for the cosmological evolution of the black hole-mass distribution. Subject headings: accretion, accretion disks — hydrodynamics — turbulence — galaxies: acti...
