Extract
Following earlier work of Lynden-Bell & Pringle (1974) and Lightman (1974a, 1974b), Bath & Pringle (1981) have presented a simple method for studying the time-dependent evolution of viscous accretion discs. These models are axisymmetrlc, with the vertical structure reduced to integrated averages of local physical conditions. Published work examines models of dwarf nova eruptions driven by mass transfer bursts (Bath & Pringle 1981 – Paper I), eruptions produced by global viscous changes within the disc (Bath & Pringle 1982a Paper II), and the time-dependent properties of giant discs in symbiotic binaries (Bath & Pringle 1982b – Paper III).
