Magnetorotational instability in weakly ionised, stratified accretion discs
We present a linear analysis of the vertical structure and growth of the magnetorotational instability in weakly ionised, stratified accretion discs. The method includes the effects of the magnetic coupling, the conductivity regime of the fluid and the strength of the magnetic field, which is initially vertical. The conductivity is treated as a tensor and assumed constant with height. The Hall ...
متن کاملMagnetorotational instability in stratified, weakly ionised accretion discs
We present a linear analysis of the vertical structure and growth of the magnetorotational instability in stratified, weakly ionised accretion discs, such as protostellar and quiescent dwarf novae systems. The method includes the effects of the magnetic coupling, the conductivity regime of the fluid and the strength of the magnetic field, which is initially vertical. The conductivity is treated...
متن کاملMagnetorotational instability in protoplanetary discs
We investigate the linear growth and vertical structure of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in weakly ionised, stratified accretion discs. The magnetic field is initially vertical and dust grains are assumed to have settled towards the midplane, so charges are carried by electrons and ions only. Solutions are obtained at representative radial locations from the central protostar for diff...
متن کاملAxisymmetric Magnetorotational Instability in Viscous Accretion Disks
Axisymmetric magnetorotational instability (MRI) in viscous accretion disks is investigated by linear analysis and two-dimensional nonlinear simulations. The linear growth of the viscous MRI is characterized by the Reynolds number defined as RMRI ≡ v A/νΩ, where vA is the Alfvén velocity, ν is the kinematic viscosity, and Ω is the angular velocity of the disk. Although the linear growth rate is...
متن کاملThe signature of the magnetorotational instability in the Reynolds and Maxwell stress tensors in accretion discs
The magnetorotational instability is thought to be responsible for the generation of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence that leads to enhanced outward angular momentum transport in accretion discs. Here, we demonstrate that, during the exponential growth of the instability, the mean Reynolds stress is always positive, the mean Maxwell stress is always negative, and hence the total stress is positiv...
