Origin of nonlinearity and plausible turbulence by hydromagnetic transient growth in accretion disks: Faster growth rate than magnetorotational instability.
We investigate the evolution of hydromagnetic perturbations in a small section of accretion disks. It is known that molecular viscosity is negligible in accretion disks. Hence, it has been argued that a mechanism, known as magnetorotational instability (MRI), is responsible for transporting matter in the presence of a weak magnetic field. However, there are some shortcomings, which question the...
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 کاملAngular Momentum Transport by MHD Turbulence in Accretion Disks: Gas Pressure Dependence of the Saturation Level of the Magnetorotational Instability
The saturation level of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) is investigated using three-dimensional MHD simulations. The shearing box approximation is adopted and the vertical component of gravity is ignored, so that the evolution of the MRI is followed in a small local part of the disk. We focus on the dependence of the saturation level of the stress on the gas pressure, which is a key ass...
متن کاملThe Growth Rate of Tidally Excited Waves in Accretion Disks
Accretion disks in close binary systems are subject to a tidally driven parametric instability which leads to the growth of internal waves near the outer edges of such disks (Goodman 1993). These waves are important in understanding the torque exerted on a disk by tidal forces and may play a role in the structure of the disk at small radii. Here we calculate the growth rate of this instability,...
متن کاملKinetic Effects on Turbulence Driven by the Magnetorotational Instability in Black Hole Accretion
Many astrophysical objects (e.g., spiral galaxies, the solar system, Saturn’s rings, and luminous disks around compact objects) occur in the form of a disk. One of the important astrophysical problems is to understand how rotationally supported disks lose angular momentum, and accrete towards the bottom of the gravitational potential, converting gravitational energy into thermal (and radiation)...
