Compressibility and local instabilities of differentially rotating magnetized gas
We study the stability of compressible cylindrical differentially rotating flow in the presence of the magnetic field, and show that compressibility alters qualitatively the stability properties of flows. Apart from the well-known magnetorotational instability that can occur even in incompressible flow, there exist a new instability caused by compressibility. The necessary condition of the newl...
متن کاملThe Rotating Discs Argument Defeated
The rotating discs argument (RDA) against perdurantism has been mostly discussed by metaphysicians, though the argument of course appeals to ideas from classical mechanics, especially about rotation. In contrast, I assess the RDA from the perspective of the philosophy of physics. I argue for three main conclusions. The first conclusion is that the RDA can be formulated more strongly than is usu...
متن کاملWaves and instabilities in a differentially rotating disc containing a poloidal magnetic field
The theory of waves and instabilities in a differentially rotating disc containing a poloidal magnetic field is developed within the framework of ideal magnetohydrodynamics. A continuous spectrum, for which the eigenfunctions are localized on individual magnetic surfaces, is identified but is found not to contain any instabilities associated with differential rotation. The normal modes of a wea...
متن کاملThe Nature of Low T/|w | Dynamical Instabilities in Differentially Rotating Stars
Recent numerical simulations indicate the presence of dynamical instabilities of the f-mode in differentially rotating stars even at very low values of T/|W |, the ratio of kinetic to potential energy. In this Letter we argue that these may be shear instabilities which occur when the degree of differential rotation exceeds a critical value and the f-mode develops a corotation point associated w...
متن کاملSidewall boundary layer instabilities in a rapidly rotating cylinder driven by a differentially corotating lid
The flow in an enclosed completely filled rapidly rotating cylinder that is driven by the differential corotation of the top lid is studied numerically. Although the flow is in a very simple geometry, the fast background rotation and large differential rotation of the lid lead to very thin boundary layers with a variety of instability modes with very fine spatial scales as well as inertial wave...
