The Weakly Nonlinear Magnetorotational Instability in a Global, Cylindrical Taylor-couette Flow
We conduct a global, weakly nonlinear analysis of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in a Taylor-Couette flow. This is a multiscale perturbative treatment of the nonideal, axisymmetric MRI near threshold, subject to realistic radial boundary conditions and cylindrical geometry. We analyze both the standard MRI, initialized by a constant vertical background magnetic field, and the helical M...
متن کاملWeakly nonlinear analysis of the magnetorotational instability in a model channel flow.
We show by means of a perturbative weakly nonlinear analysis that the axisymmetric magnetorotational instability (MRI) of a viscous, resistive, incompressible rotating shear flow subject to a background vertical magnetic field in a thin channel gives rise to a Ginzburg-Landau equation for the disturbance amplitude. For small magnetic Prandtl number (P(m)), the saturation amplitude is proportion...
متن کاملThe Weakly Nonlinear Magnetorotational Instability in a Thin-gap Taylor-couette Flow
The magnetorotational instability (MRI) is a fundamental process of accretion disk physics, but its saturation mechanism remains poorly understood despite considerable theoretical and computational effort. We present a multiple scales analysis of the non-ideal MRI in the weakly nonlinear regime – that is, when the most unstable MRI mode has a growth rate asymptotically approaching zero from abo...
متن کاملIon dynamics and the magnetorotational instability in weakly - ionized discs
The magnetorotational instability (MRI) of a weakly ionized, differentially rotating, magnetized plasma disc is investigated in the multi-fluid framework. The disc is threaded by a uniform vertical magnetic field and charge is carried by electrons and ions only. The inclusion of ion inertia causes significant modification to the conductivity tensor in a weakly ionized disc. The parallel, Peders...
متن کاملMagnetorotational 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 ...
