Nonlinear bending waves in Keplerian accretion discs
The nonlinear dynamics of a warped accretion disc is investigated in the important case of a thin Keplerian disc with negligible viscosity and self-gravity. A one-dimensional evolutionary equation is formally derived that describes the primary nonlinear and dispersive effects on propagating bending waves other than parametric instabilities. It has the form of a derivative nonlinear Schrödinger ...
متن کاملMagnetically-driven jets from Keplerian accretion discs
Non-relativistic, magnetically-driven jets are constructed by taking self-consistently into account the feedback on the underlying accretion disc. It is shown that such jets are mostly described by the ejection index ξ = d ln Ṁa/d ln r, which is a local measure of the disc ejection efficiency. This parameter is found to lie in a very narrow range, due to constraints imposed by both the disc ver...
متن کاملSpiral waves in accretion discs
In the first part of this article, we review the observational evidence for spirals in the accretion discs of cataclysmic variables. It is shown that with the increasing amount of data available, spirals appear to be an omnipresent feature of accretion discs in outburst. Spirals seem to live until decline that is, for several tens of orbital periods. We then study the formation of spiral shocks...
متن کاملThe excitation, propagation and dissipation of waves in accretion discs: the non-linear axisymmetric case
We analyse the non-linear propagation and dissipation of axisymmetric waves in accretion discs using the ZEUS-2D hydrodynamics code. The waves are numerically resolved in the vertical and radial directions. Both vertically isothermal and thermally stratified accretion discs are considered. The waves are generated by means of resonant forcing and several forms of forcing are considered. Compress...
متن کاملSpiral waves in accretion discs - observations
I review the observational evidence for spiral structure in the accretion discs of cataclysmic variables (CVs). Doppler tomography is ideally suited to resolve and map such co-rotating patterns and allows a straightforward comparison with theory. The dwarf nova IP Pegasi presents the best studied case, carrying two spiral arms in a wide range of emission lines throughout its outbursts. Both arm...
