吸积盘整体结构的统一描述

在考虑径向对流和不同光学厚度的基础上，我们采用一般的辐射致冷假设；在统一的框架内考察了吸积盘的整体结构．对α模型，我们发现在不同的盘区存在不同的整体结构．在吸积率较低时，存在三种类型解：光学厚的局部辐射致冷解；光学薄的局部致冷解；光学薄的对流致冷解．这些解在盘内较大范围内都存在且互不交叉．但在吸积率较高和粘滞系数较大时，两种局部致冷解会相互交叉，而对流为主的解在所有盘区都稳定存在．另一方面，在吸积率较高和粘滞系数较小时，两种光学薄解会相互交叉，而光学厚和局部致冷为主的解在所有盘区都存在．     

含粘滞和磁场的薄吸积盘不稳定性

本文采用微扰方法导出色散方程，并在四种情况下详细讨论了薄吸积盘的不稳定性。结果表明：在纯粘滞和纯磁场盘中都存在脉动不稳定性。而且在吸积盘内同时考虑粘滞和磁场时，存在两种不稳定性，一种是脉动不稳定性，另一种是单调不稳定性。同时数值计算还表明，脉动不稳定性更可能存在于盘的内区，而单调不稳定性则只在盘的外区，对短波扰动才有意义。这些结果为解释ＢＬＬａｃ天体、Ｓｅｙｆｅｒｔ星系及类星体等活动星系核的光变现象进一步提供了理论依据。

含粘滞的弱磁化吸积盘的非轴对称脉动不稳定性

本文讨论了一种含扩散型粘滞的弱磁化等温吸积盘模型．在作者原有工作的基础上研究了吸积盘对非轴对称扰动（含径向、环向和垂向三个方向的扰动）所表现的脉动不稳定性．结果表明，径向扰动是最重要、最根本的扰动：在无径向扰动时，吸积盘中不存在环向扰动与垂向扰动所产生的脉动不稳定性．在径向扰动存在时，吸积盘除了可能存在纯径向脉动不稳定性外，还可能存在由于径向扰动与垂向扰动的耦合所引起的轴对称脉动不稳定性，以及由于径向扰动与环向扰动的耦合所引起的非轴对称脉动不稳定性．当上述三个方向的扰动并存时，对应的非轴对称脉动不稳定性也可能存在．

非磁化吸积盘中的粘滞性和朗缪尔波湍动应力

粘滞性问题一直是吸积盘理论中十分重要而又难以解决的一个基本理论问题．最近,Balbus和Hawley建议在磁化吸积盘中存在一种局域的磁流体剪切不稳定性机制,它能导致磁化吸积盘中有效的角动量转移,从而可以部分地解决磁化吸积盘中的粘滞性问题．但是Balbus－Hawley机制对非磁化吸积盘仍然是无效的．在本文中,我们研究了一种非磁化吸积盘模型,其中粘滞性机制起源于等离子体朗缪尔波湍动应力,并与标准a吸积盘模型中起源于流体或磁流体湍流的雷诺应力的粘滞性机制进行了比较．结果表明等离子体朗缪尔波湍动应力不仅对非磁化吸积盘中粘滞性的起源有重要的贡献,而且有可能是比流体湍流或磁流体湍流的雷诺应力更加有效的粘滞性起源的物理机制．     

The specific features of the evolution of the viscous protoplanetary circumsolar disk

The problem of angular-momentum and mass transport in the disk is discussed and the disk viscosity is estimated. The evolution of the gas-dust protoplanetary disk at the stage of its formation inside the protostellar (protosolar) accretion envelope is considered. The conditions for the radial growth of the disk are estimated. For the subsequent period, when the central star (young Sun) is in the T Tauri phase, the temporal variations of the radius, mass, and the surface density of the disk, as well as the total mass flux from the disk onto the star (Sun), i.e., the mass accretion rate, are evaluated. The constraints on the initial value of the angular momentum of the protoplanetary circumsolar disk (that is, on the angular momentum of the protosolar cloud) are discussed with due regard for cosmochemical data.Translated from Astronomicheskii Vestnik, Vol. 38, No. 6, 2004, pp. 559–576.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Makalkin.     

An alpha theory of time-dependent warped accretion discs

The non-linear fluid dynamics of a warped accretion disc was investigated in an earlier paper by developing a theory of fully non-linear bending waves in a thin, viscous disc. That analysis is extended here to take proper account of thermal and radiative effects by solving an energy equation that includes viscous dissipation and radiative transport. The problem is reduced to simple one-dimensional evolutionary equations for mass and angular momentum, expressed in physical units and suitable for direct application. This result constitutes a logical generalization of the alpha theory of Shakura & Sunyaev to the case of a time-dependent warped accretion disc. The local thermal–viscous stability of such a disc is also investigated.     

On the formation of protostellar disks

An analysis is presented of the hydrodynamic aspects of the growth of protostellar disks from the accretion (or collapse) of a rotating gas cloud. The size, mass, and radiative properties of protostellar disks are determined by the distribution of mass and angular momentum in the clouds from which they are formed, as well as from the dissipative processes within the disks themselves. The angular momentum of the infalling cloud is redistributed by the action of turbulent viscosity on a shear layer near the surface of the disk (downstream of the accretion shock) and on the radial shear across cylindrical surfaces parallel to the rotation axis. The fraction of gas that is fed into a central core (protostar) during accretion depends on the ratio of the rate of viscous diffusion of angular momentum to the accretion rate; rapid viscous diffusion (or a low accretion rate) promotes a large core-to-disk mass ratio. The continuum radiation spectrum of a highly viscous disk is similar to that of a steady-state accretion disk without mass addition. It is possible to construct models of the primitive solar nebula as an accretion disk, formed by the collapse of a slowly rotating protostellar cloud, and containing the minimum mass required to account for the planets. Other models with more massive disks are also possible.     

Viscous overstability and eccentricity evolution in three-dimensional gaseous discs

We investigate the growth or decay rate of the fundamental mode of even symmetry in a viscous accretion disc. This mode occurs in eccentric discs and is known to be potentially overstable. We determine the vertical structure of the disc and its modes, treating radiative energy transport in the diffusion approximation. In the limit of very long radial wavelength, an analytical criterion for viscous overstability is obtained, which involves the effective shear and bulk viscosity, the adiabatic exponent, and the opacity law of the disc. This differs from the prediction of a two-dimensional model. On shorter wavelengths (a few times the disc thickness), the criterion for overstability is more difficult to satisfy because of the different vertical structure of the mode. In a low-viscosity disc a third regime of intermediate wavelengths appears, in which the overstability is suppressed as the horizontal velocity perturbations develop significant vertical shear. We suggest that this effect determines the damping rate of eccentricity in protoplanetary discs, for which the long-wavelength analysis is inapplicable and overstability is unlikely to occur on any scale. In thinner accretion discs and in decretion discs around Be stars overstability may occur only on the longest wavelengths, leading to the preferential excitation of global eccentric modes.     

Hydrodynamical non-radiative accretion flows in two dimensions

Two-dimensional (axially symmetric) numerical hydrodynamical calculations of accretion flows that cannot cool through emission of radiation are presented. The calculations begin from an equilibrium configuration consisting of a thick torus with constant specific angular momentum. Accretion is induced by the addition of a small anomalous azimuthal shear stress which is characterized by a function ν . We study the flows generated as the amplitude and form of ν are varied. A spherical polar grid which spans more than two orders of magnitude in radius is used to resolve the flow over a wide range of spatial scales. We find that convection in the inner regions produces significant outward mass motions that carry away both the energy liberated by and a large fraction of the mass participating in the accretion flow. Although the instantaneous structure of the flow is complex and dominated by convective eddies, long-time averages of the dynamical variables show remarkable correspondence to certain steady-state solutions. The two-dimensional structure of the time-averaged flow is marginally stable to the Høiland criterion, indicating that convection is efficient. Near the equatorial plane, the radial profiles of the time-averaged variables are power laws with an index that depends on the radial scaling of the shear stress. A stress in which ν ∝ r ^1/2 recovers the widely studied self-similar solution corresponding to an ' α -disc'. We find that, regardless of the adiabatic index of the gas, or the form or magnitude of the shear stress, the mass inflow rate is a strongly increasing function of radius, and is everywhere nearly exactly balanced by mass outflow. The net mass accretion rate through the disc is only a fraction of the rate at which mass is supplied to the inflow at large radii, and is given by the local, viscous accretion rate associated with the flow properties near the central object.     

Dissipative-acoustic instability in accretion disks at a nonlinear stage

Nonstationary hydrodynamic models of a viscous accretion disk around a central compact object were constructed. Two different numerical methods (TVD and SPH) are used to study the dynamics of dissipatively unstable acoustic perturbations at the nonlinear stage in terms of the standard α-disk model. The standard disk accretion in the Shakura-Sunyaev model is unstable against acoustic waves for various parameters of the system. If the α parameter, which specifies the level of turbulent viscosity, exceeds α?0.03, then a complex nonstationary system of small-scale weak shock waves is formed. The growth rate of the perturbations is higher in the central disk region. For α?0.2, the relative shock amplitude can exceed 50% of the equilibrium disk parameters. The reflection of waves from the disk boundaries and their nonlinear interaction are important factors that can produce unsteady accretion. The luminosity of such a disk undergoes quasi-periodic oscillations at a level of several percent (?5%) of the equilibrium level.     

Evolution of protoplanetary discs driven by the MRI, self-gravity and hydrodynamical turbulence

We study the viscous evolution of protoplanetary discs driven by the combined action of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, resulting from the magneto-rotational instability (MRI), self-gravity torques, parametrized in terms of an effective viscosity and an additional viscous agent of unspecified origin. The distribution of torques driving the evolution of the disc is calculated by analysing where in the disc the MRI develops and, to incorporate the effect of self-gravity, calculating the Toomre parameter. We find that, generally, discs rapidly evolve towards a configuration where the intermediate regions, from a fraction of an au to a few au, are stable against the MRI due to their low-ionization degree. As an additional source of viscosity is assumed to operate in those regions, subsequent evolution of the disc is eruptive. Brief episodes of high mass accretion ensue as the criterion for the development of the MRI is met in the low-ionization region. The radial distribution of mass and temperature in the disc differs considerably from disc models with constant α parameter or layered accretion models, with potentially important consequences on the process of planet formation.     

Two-flow magnetohydrodynamical jets around young stellar objects

We present the first-ever simulations of non-ideal magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) stellar winds coupled with disc-driven jets where the resistive and viscous accretion disc is self-consistently described. The transmagnetosonic, collimated MHD outflows are investigated numerically using the VAC code. Our simulations show that the inner outflow is accelerated from the central object hot corona thanks to both the thermal pressure and the Lorentz force. In our framework, the thermal acceleration is sustained by the heating produced by the dissipated magnetic energy due to the turbulence. Conversely, the outflow launched from the resistive accretion disc is mainly accelerated by the magneto-centrifugal force. We also show that when a dense inner stellar wind occurs, the resulting disc-driven jet have a different structure, namely a magnetic structure where poloidal magnetic field lines are more inclined because of the pressure caused by the stellar wind. This modification leads to both an enhanced mass ejection rate in the disc-driven jet and a larger radial extension which is in better agreement with the observations besides being more consistent.
