Rossby Wave Instability of Keplerian Accretion Disks
We find a linear instability of non-axisymmetric Rossby waves in a thin nonmagnetized Keplerian disk when there is a local maximum in the radial profile of a key function L(r) ≡ F(r)S2/Γ(r), where F−1 = ẑ · (∇× v)/Σ is the potential vorticity, S = P/ΣΓ is the entropy, Σ is the surface mass density, P is the vertically integrated pressure, and Γ is the adiabatic index. We consider in detail the ...
متن کاملThermodynamic Consistency of the Anelastic Approximation for a Moist Atmosphere
The primary goal of this paper is to validate the use of the anelastic approximation for fluids with a complex equation of state such as moist air or seawater. The anelastic approximation is based on a leading-order expansion of the equations of motion for a compressible fluid in terms of density. Its application to atmospheric flows has been based on a dry framework that treats phase transitio...
متن کاملPenetrative Convection within the Anelastic Approximation
We present a method for studying penetrative convection within the anelastic approximation. This method is then applied to two-dimensional numerical simulations of a convective region bounded below by a stable (radiative) region. Descending plumes penetrate into the stable layer, exciting gravity waves with a spectrum of frequencies limited by the ‘‘Brunt-Väisäla’’ frequency. The depth of penet...
متن کاملAlfvén QPOs in magnetars in the anelastic approximation
We perform two-dimensional simulations of Alfvén oscillations in magnetars, modeled as relativistic stars with a dipolar magnetic field. We use the anelastic approximation to general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics, which allows for an effective suppression of fluid modes and an accurate description of Alfvén waves. In addition, we compute Alfvén oscillation frequencies along individual magne...
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...
