An hydrodynamic shear instability in stratified disks
We discuss the possibility that astrophysical accretion disks are dynamically unstable to nonaxisymmetric disturbances with characteristic scales much smaller than the vertical scale height. The instability is studied using three methods: one based on the energy integral, which allows the determination of a sufficient condition of stability, one using a WKB approach, which allows the determinat...
متن کاملRadiation Instability in a Stratified Shear Flow
The paper deals with a new mechanism of instability in stratified fluid caused by internal wave radiation from a shear layer. This radiation instability may be explained in terms of the negativeenergy wave concept. These waves are able to grow due to radiation losses. The dispersion relation and non-linear stage of the process are analyzed through a model with tangential velocity discontinuity....
متن کاملShear layer instability in a highly diffusive stably stratified atmosphere
The linear stability of a shear layer in a highly diffusive stably stratified atmosphere has been investigated. This study completes and extends previous works by Dudis (1974) and Jones (1977). We show that (i) an asymptotic regime is reached in the limit of large thermal diffusivity, (ii) there exists two different types of unstable modes. The slowest growing modes correspond to predominantly ...
متن کاملHall instability of thin weakly - ionized stratified Keplerian disks
The stratification-driven Hall instability in a weakly ionized polytropic plasma is investigated in the local approximation within an equilibrium Keplerian disk of a small aspect ratio ǫ. The leading order of the asymptotic expansions in ǫ is applied to both equilibrium and perturbation problems. The equilibrium disk with an embedded purely toroidal magnetic field is found to be stable to radia...
متن کاملThe Hall instability of weakly ionized , radially stratified , rotating disks
Cool weakly ionized gaseous rotating disk, are considered by many models as the origin of the evolution of protoplanetary clouds. Instabilities against perturbations in such disks play an important role in the theory of the formation of stars and planets. Thus, a hierarchy of successive fragmentations into smaller and smaller pieces as a part of the Kant-Laplace theory of formation of the plane...
