Zombie Vortex Instability. I. a Purely Hydrodynamic Instability to Resurrect the Dead Zones of Protoplanetary Disks
There is considerable interest in hydrodynamic instabilities in dead zones of protoplanetary disks as a mechanism for driving angular momentum transport and as a source of particle-trapping vortices to mix chondrules and incubate planetesimal formation. We present simulations with a pseudo-spectral anelastic code and with the compressible code Athena, showing that stably stratified flows in a s...
متن کاملSelf-Sustained Ionization and Vanishing Dead Zones in Protoplanetary Disks
We analyse the ionization state of the magnetohydrodynamically turbulent protoplanetary disks and propose a new mechanism of sustaining ionization. First, we show that in the quasi-steady state of turbulence driven by magnetorotational instability in a typical protoplanetary disk with dust grains the amount of energy dissipation should be sufficient for providing the ionization energy that is r...

متن کاملBaroclinic Vorticity Production in Protoplanetary Disks Part I: Vortex Formation
The formation of vortices in protoplanetary disks is explored via pseudospectral numerical simulations of an anelastic-gas model. This model is a coupled set of equations for vorticity and temperature in two dimensions which includes baroclinic vorticity production and radiative cooling. Vortex formation is unambiguously shown to be caused by baroclinicity because (1) these simulations have zer...
