Turbulent Magnetohydrodynamic Jet Collimation and Thermal Driving
Peter T. Williams
We have argued that magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in an accretion disk naturally produces hoop-stresses, and that in a geometrically-thick flow these stresses could both dri…

Protostellar Jets Driven by a Disorganized Magnetic Field
Peter T. Williams
We have proposed a viscoelastic model of the Maxwell stresses due to the disorganized magnetic field in MRI-driven MHD turbulence. Viscoelastic fluids in the laboratory are known t…

Viscoelastic Analogy for the Acceleration and Collimation of Astrophysical Jets
Peter Todd Williams
Jets are ubiquitous in astronomy. It has been conjectured that the existence of jets is intimately connected with the spin of the central object and the viscous angular momentum tr…
