Non-axisymmetric instabilities in shocked accretion flows with differential rotation
The linear stability of a shocked isothermal accretion flow onto a black hole is investigated in the inviscid limit. The outer shock solution, which was previously found to be stable with respect to axisymmetric perturbations, is, however, generally unstable to non-axisymmetric ones. Eigenmodes and growth rates are obtained by numerical integration of the linearized equations. The mechanism of ...
متن کاملNon-axisymmetric instabilities in shocked adiabatic accretion flows
We investigate the linear stability of a shocked accretion flow onto a black hole in the adiabatic limit. Our linear analyses and numerical calculations show that, despite the post-shock deceleration, the shock is generally unstable to non-axisymmetric perturbations. The simulation results of Molteni, Tóth & Kuznetsov can be well explained by our linear eigenmodes. The mechanism of this instabi...
متن کاملNon-axisymmetric instability in thin discs
In a recent important paper, Papaloizou & Pringle (1984) have investigated the dynamical stability of a thick, differentially rotating disc of uniform entropy and uniform specific angular momentum. They find a strong global non-axisymmetric instability which grows on a dynamical time-scale. Here we show that a similar instability exists even in thin discs of arbitrary specific angular momentum....
متن کاملExperimental study of libration-driven zonal flows in non-axisymmetric containers
Orbital dynamics that lead to longitudinal libration of celestial bodies also result in an elliptically deformed equatorial core-mantle boundary. The non-axisymmetry of the boundary leads to a topographic coupling between the assumed rigid mantle and the underlying low viscosity fluid. The present experimental study investigates the effect of non axisymmetric boundaries on the zonal flow driven...
متن کاملUnstable modes of non-axisymmetric gaseous discs
We present a perturbation theory for studying the instabilities of non-axisymmetric gaseous discs. We perturb the dynamical equations of self-gravitating fluids in the vicinity of a non-axisymmetric equilibrium, and expand the perturbed physical quantities in terms of a complete basis set and a small non-axisymmetry parameter ǫ. We then derive a linear eigenvalue problem in matrix form, and det...
