Stability and turbulent transport in rotating shear flows: prescription from analysis of cylindrical and plane Couette flows data

B. Dubrulle, O. Dauchot, F. Daviaud +3

This paper provides a prescription for the turbulent viscosity in rotating shear flows for use e.g. in geophysical and astrophysical contexts. This prescription is the result of th…

An hydrodynamic shear instability in stratified disks

B. Dubrulle, L. Marié, Ch. Normand +3

We discuss the possibility that astrophysical accretion disks are dynamically unstable to non-axisymmetric disturbances with characteristic scales much smaller than the vertical sc…

A note on transition, turbulent length scales and transport in differentially rotating flows

Denis Richard, Sanford S. Davis

In this note we address the issue of hydrodynamical instabilities in Astrophysical rotating shear flows in the light of recent publications focused on the possibility for different…

On non-linear hydrodynamic instability and enhanced transport in differentially rotating flows

D. T. Richard

In this paper we argue that differential rotation can possibly sustain hydrodynamic turbulence in the absence of magnetic field. We explain why the non-linearities of the hydrodyna…

A powerful local shear instability in stratified disks

D. Richard, F. Hersant, O. Dauchot +3

In this paper, we show that astrophysical accretion disks are dynamically unstable to non-axisymmetric disturbances. This instability is present in any stably stratified anticyclon…

Accretion discs models with the "beta"-viscosity prescription derived from laboratory experiments

Jean-Marc Huré, Denis Richard, Jean-Paul Zahn

We examine under which conditions one may apply, to steady state keplerian accretion discs, the "beta"-viscosity prescription which has been derived from rotating shear flow experi…
