Sustained Magnetorotational Turbulence in Local Simulations of Stratified Disks with Zero Net Magnetic Flux
We examine the effects of density stratification on magnetohydrodynamic turbulence driven by the magnetorotational instability in local simulations that adopt the shearing box approximation. Our primary result is that, even in the absence of explicit dissipation, the addition of vertical gravity leads to convergence in the turbulent energy densities and stresses as the resolution increases, con...
متن کاملMagnetic Fields in Protoplanetary Disks
Magnetic fields likely play a key role in the dynamics and evolution of protoplanetary disks. They have the potential to efficiently transport angular momentum by MHD turbulence or via the magnetocentrifugal acceleration of outflows from the disk surface. Magnetically-driven mixing has implications for disk chemistry and evolution of the grain population, and the effective viscous response of t...
متن کاملNumerical dissipation in RSPH simulations of protoplanetary disks
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is widely used for astrophysical applications, in particular problems of self-gravitational hydrodynamics. However, critics have argued that inherent accuracy problems with the method can be identified, in particular when it comes to describing shocks and dynamical instabilities. Regularized Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (RSPH) has previously been propose...
متن کاملSPH simulations of grain growth in protoplanetary disks
Aims. In order to understand the first stages of planet formation, when tiny grains aggregate to form planetesimals, one needs to simultaneously model grain growth, vertical settling and radial migration of dust in protoplanetary disks. In this study, we implement an analytical prescription for grain growth into a 3D two-phase hydrodynamics code to understand its effects on the dust distributio...
متن کاملDust settling in local simulations of turbulent protoplanetary disks
In this paper, we study the effect of MHD turbulence on the dynamics of dust particles in protoplanetary disks. We vary the size of the particles and relate the dust evolution to the turbulent velocity fluctuations. We performed numerical simulations using two Eulerian MHD codes, both based on finite difference techniques: ZEUS– 3D and NIRVANA. These were local shearing box simulations incorpor...
