Astronomy and Astrophysics Mhd Instability in Differentially Rotating Cylindric Flows
The possibility that the magnetic shear-flow instability (MRI, Balbus-Hawley instability) might give rise to turbulence in a cylindric Couette flow is investigated through numerical simulations. The study is linear and the fluid flow is supposed to be incompressible and differentially rotating with a simple velocity profile with Ω = a + b/R 2. The simplicity of the model is counterbalanced by t...
متن کاملHydromagnetic instability in differentially rotating flows.
We study the stability of compressible differentially rotating flows in the presence of the magnetic field, and we show that the compressibility profoundly alters the previous results for a magnetized incompressible flow. The necessary condition of newly found instability can be easily satisfied in various flows in laboratory and astrophysical conditions and reads BsBphiOmega' not equal to 0, w...
متن کاملMHD instability in cylindric Taylor-Couette flow
The linear marginal instability of an axisymmetric MHD Taylor-Couette flow of infinite vertical extension is considered. For flows with a resting outer cylinder there is a well-known characteristic Reynolds number even without magnetic field but for sufficiently weak magnetic fields there are solutions with smaller Reynolds numbers so that a characteristic minimum exists. The minimum only exist...
متن کاملStratorotational instability in MHD Taylor-Couette flows
Aims. The stability of dissipative Taylor-Couette flows with an axial stable density stratification and a prescribed azimuthal magnetic field is considered. Methods. Global nonaxisymmetric solutions of the linearized MHD equations with toroidal magnetic field, axial density stratification and differential rotation are found for both insulating and conducting cylinder walls. Results. Flat rotati...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic instability in differentially rotating compressible flow
Transport of angular momentum is one of the thrust areas of astrophysical flows. Instabilities and hence the turbulence generated by it has been invoked to understand its role in angular momentum transport in hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic regime. Investigation of an unexplored region described by the parameter space Ω e < 0, Ωe being the epicyclic frequency, resulted in a powerful magnet...
