Nature of Turbulence: Governing Factor of Accretion Disk Dynamics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
It has long been suggested that turbulence provide viscous torques to transport angular momentum outward and flow mass inward in accretion disks (von Weizsäcker 1948, Shakura & Sunyaev 1973). Recent advances in subject of understanding of accretion disk turbulence are mach linked with magnetised disks (cf. Vishniac & Diamond 1992, Balbus, Gammie & Hawley 1994, Brandenburg et al. 1995, Stone et al 1996). However, not all the disks are magnetically coupled (see Balbus, Hawley & Stone 1996). Two different sources that are able to sustain turbulence in not magnetised accretion disk are the following:
