Axisymmetric 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 کاملNon-axisymmetric instability of axisymmetric magnetic fields
Context. The MHD instabilities can generate complex field topologies even if the initial field configuration is a very simple one. Aims. We consider the stability properties of magnetic configurations containing a toroidal and an axial field. In this paper, we concentrate mainly on the behavior of non-axisymmetric perturbations in axisymmetric magnetic configurations. Methods. The stability is ...
متن کاملNon-Axisymmetric g-Mode and p-Mode Instability in a Thin Accretion Disk
It has been suggested that quasi-periodic oscillations of accreting X-ray sources may relate to the modes named in the title. We idealize a thin accretion disk by means of the shearing sheet model and derive a wave equation for nonaxisymmetric perturbations. We show that the equation can be transformed into the Whittaker equation, which enables us to write down analytical solutions. For modes w...
متن کاملNon-Axisymmetric g-Mode and p-Mode Instability in a Hydrodynamic Thin Accretion Disk
It has been suggested that quasi-periodic oscillations of accreting X-ray sources may relate to the modes named in the title. We consider nonaxisymmetric linear perturbations to an isentropic, isothermal, unmagnetized thin accretion disk. The radial wave equation, in which the number of vertical nodes (n) appears as a separation constant, admits a wave-action current that is conserved except, i...
متن کاملNon-axisymmetric instability in thin discs
In a recent important paper, Papaloizou & Pringle (1984) have investigated the dynamical stability of a thick, differentially rotating disc of uniform entropy and uniform specific angular momentum. They find a strong global non-axisymmetric instability which grows on a dynamical time-scale. Here we show that a similar instability exists even in thin discs of arbitrary specific angular momentum....
