A Counterexample of the MRI in the Two-Dimensional Axial Symmetry
We analyze a linear perturbation scheme for a two-dimensional background plasma, which is rotating with a differential frequency and is embedded in a poloidal magnetic field. The main two assumptions of the present study, which in turn are related, are that the plasma profile is axially symmetric, both in the background and the perturbation approximation, where the azimuthal magnetic field is r...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Simulations of Magnetorotational Instability in a Magnetized Couette Flow
In preparation for an experimental study of magnetorotational instability (MRI) in liquid metal, we present non-ideal two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the nonlinear evolution of MRI in the experimental geometry. The simulations adopt initially uniform vertical magnetic fields, conducting or insulating radial boundaries, and periodic vertical boundary conditions. No-slip condit...
متن کاملExistence of the Magnetorotational Instability
By posing and solving a global axisymmetric eigenvalue problem on an infinite domain with modes vanishing at zero and infinity for a differentially rotatingMHD plasma, the conditions for the occurrence of a purely growing lowfrequency mode known as the magnetorotational instability (MRI) are mapped. It is shown that the MRI criterion drawn from the ‘‘local dispersion relation’’ is at best inade...
متن کاملSaturation of the magnetorotational instability
An analytical theory is developed that describes asymptotically exactly the process of nonlinear saturation of the magnetorotational instability in a model problem employing a linear shear flow in a uniformly rotating channel. The theory shows that the instability saturates by modifying the shear responsible for it. The saturation process requires both viscous and Ohmic dissipation. The theory ...
متن کاملMagnetorotational instability: recent developments.
The magnetorotational instability is believed to play an important role in accretion disc physics in extracting angular momentum from the disc and allowing accretion to take place. For this reason the instability has been the subject of numerous numerical simulations and, increasingly, laboratory experiments. In this review, recent developments in both areas are surveyed, and a new theoretical ...
