The subcritical baroclinic instability in local accretion disc models
G. Lesur, J. C. B. Papaloizou
(abridged) Aims: We present new results exhibiting a subcritical baroclinic instability (SBI) in local shearing box models. We describe the 2D and 3D behaviour of this instability…

Turbulent resistivity evaluation in MRI generated turbulence
G. Lesur, P-Y. Longaretti
(abriged) MRI turbulence is a leading mechanism for the generation of an efficient turbulent transport of angular momentum in an accretion disk through a turbulent viscosity effect…

On the Stability of Elliptical Vortices in Accretion Discs
G. Lesur, J. C. B. Papaloizou
(Abriged) The existence of large-scale and long-lived 2D vortices in accretion discs has been debated for more than a decade. They appear spontaneously in several 2D disc simulatio…
