Hydrodynamic Turbulence in Accretion Disks
Turbulent viscosity in cold accretion disks is likely to be hydrodynamic in origin. We investigate the growth of hydrodynamic perturbations in a small region of a disk, which we model as a linear shear flow with Coriolis force, between two parallel walls. Although there are no exponentially growing eigenmodes in this system, because of the non-normal nature of the modes, it is possible to have ...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in Accretion Disks
Recent work on the structure of magnetic fields in a turbulent medium gives predictions for the properties of the magnetic flux tubes as a function of the Mach number and scale of the turbulence, and the resistivity and viscosity of the fluid. Here I discuss the implications of this work for accretion disks. I show that although accretion disk flux tubes are usually almost completely evacuated,...
متن کاملAM CVn stars
I review our observational and theoretical knowledge of AM CVn stars, focusing on recent developments. These include newly discovered systems, the possibility that two recently discovered extremely short period objects are AM CVn stars and an update on X-ray, UV an optical studies. Theoretical advances include the study of the details of both the donor and accretor, and the physics of the heliu...
متن کاملUnstable magnetohydrodynamical continuous spectrum of accretion disks A new route to magnetohydrodynamical turbulence in accretion disks
Context. We present a detailed study of localised magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) instabilities occuring in two– dimensional magnetized accretion disks. Aims. We model axisymmetric MHD disk tori, and solve the equations governing a two–dimensional magnetized accretion disk equilibrium and linear wave modes about this equilibrium. We show the existence of novel MHD instabilities in these two–dimensi...
متن کاملAccretion Disks in Large-scale Magnetic Fields
This paper presents a survey of a set of simulations of accretion disks orbiting a rapidly rotating Kerr black hole and embedded in a large-scale initial magnetic field. Each simulation uses a common state for the initial torus, including an MRI seed-field consisting of poloidal loops along isodensity contours, and differ only in the strength of the initial large-scale magnetic field in relatio...
