Experiments on the magnetorotational instability in helical magnetic fields
The magnetorotational instability (MRI) plays a key role in the formation of stars and black holes, by enabling outward angular momentum transport in accretion discs. The use of combined axial and azimuthal magnetic fields allows the investigation of this effect in liquid metal flows at moderate Reynolds and Hartmann numbers. A variety of experimental results is presented showing evidence for t...
متن کاملNonlinear Evolution of the Magnetorotational Instability in Ion-Neutral Disks
We carry out three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical simulations of the magnetorotational (Balbus-Hawley) instability in weakly-ionized plasmas. We adopt a formulation in which the ions and neutrals each are treated as separate fluids coupled only through a collisional drag term. Ionization and recombination processes are not considered. The linear stability of the ion-neutral system has been p...
متن کاملImpact of tangled magnetic fields on AGN-blown bubbles
There is growing consensus that feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is the main mechanism responsible for stopping cooling flows in clusters of galaxies. AGN are known to inflate buoyant bubbles that supply mechanical power to the intracluster gas (ICM). High Reynolds number hydrodynamical simulations show that such bubbles get entirely disrupted within 100 Myr, as they rise in cluster a...
متن کاملJet Acceleration by Tangled Magnetic Fields
We explore the possibility that extragalactic radio jets might be accelerated by highly disorganized magnetic fields that are strong enough to dominate the dynamics until the terminal Lorentz factor is reached. Following the twin-exhaust model by Blandford & Rees (1974), the collimation under this scenario is provided by the stratified thermal pressure from an external medium. The acceleration ...
متن کاملMicrowave Background Signals from Tangled Magnetic Fields
An inhomogeneous cosmological magnetic field will create Alfvén-wave modes that induce a small rotational velocity perturbation on the last scattering surface of the microwave background radiation. The Alfvén-wave mode survives Silk damping on much smaller scales than the compressional modes. This, in combination with its rotational nature, ensures that there will be no sharp cut-off in anisotr...
