Numerical Simulations of MHD Turbulence in Accretion Disks
We review numerical simulations of MHD turbulence. The last decade has witnessed fundamental advances both in the technical capabilities of direct numerical simulation, and in our understanding of key physical processes. Magnetic fields tap directly into the free energy sources in a sufficiently ionized gas. The result is that adverse angular velocity and adverse temperature gradients, not the ...
متن کاملNumerical Models of Accretion Disks
I review recent numerical studies of accretion disks, focusing on measurements of the turbulent shear stress, or α, in the shearing box model. I conclude with a list of astronomically relevant open questions that can be settled via future numerical experiments.
متن کاملGlobal MHD Simulations of Cylindrical Keplerian Disks
This paper presents a series of global three dimensional accretion disk simulations carried out in the cylindrical limit in which the vertical component of the gravitational field is neglected. The simulations use a cylindrical pseudo-Newtonian potential, ∝ 1/(R −Rg), to model the main dynamical properties of the Schwarzschild metric. The radial grid domain runs out to 60 Rg to minimize the inf...
متن کاملMHD simulations of jet acceleration from Keplerian accretion disks The effects of disk resistivity
Context. Accretion disks and astrophysical jets are used to model many active astrophysical objects, viz., young stars, relativistic stars, and active galactic nuclei. However, extant proposals on how these structures may transfer angular momentum and energy from disks to jets through viscous or magnetic torques do not yet provide a full understanding of the physical mechanisms involved. Thus, ...
متن کاملMagnetized Accretion - Ejection Structures : 2 . 5 D MHD simulations of continuous Ideal Jet launching from resistive accretion disks
We present numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of a magnetized accretion disk launching trans-Alfvénic jets. These simulations, performed in a 2.5 dimensional time-dependent polytropic resistive MHD framework , model a resistive accretion disk threaded by an initial vertical magnetic field. The resistivity is only important inside the disk, and is prescribed as η = α m V A H exp(−2Z...
