Turbulence and its parameterization in accretion discs
Accretion disc turbulence is investigated in the framework of the shearing box approximation. The turbulence is either driven by the magneto-rotational instability or, in the non-magnetic case, by an explicit and artificial forcing term in the momentum equation. Unlike the magnetic case, where most of the dissipation occurs in the disc corona, in the forced hydrodynamic case most of the dissipa...
متن کاملDynamo-generated Turbulence and Outtows from Accretion Discs
Local hydromagnetic simulations of accretion disc turbulence provide now the most convincing evidence that the origin of turbulence in discs could be the Balbus{Hawley magneto-rotational instability. The main results of such calculations are highlighted with particular emphasis on the generation of large scale magnetic elds. Comparison with mean-eld dynamo theory is made. This theory is then us...

متن کاملAccretion does not drive the turbulence in galactic discs
Rapid accretion of cold intergalactic gas plays a crucial role in getting gas into galaxies. It has been suggested that this gas accretion proceeds along narrow streams that might also directly drive the turbulence in galactic gas, dynamical disturbances and bulge formation. In cosmological simulations, however, it is impossible to isolate and hence disentangle the effect of cold stream accreti...
متن کاملThe excitation of spiral density waves through turbulent fluctuations in accretion discs II: Numerical Simulations with MRI driven turbulence
We present fully three-dimensional local simulations of compressible MRI turbulence with the object of studying and elucidating the excitation of the non-axisymmetric spiral density waves that are observed to always be present in such simulations. They are potentially important for affecting protoplanetary migration through the action of associated stochastic gravitational forces and producing ...
