Hydrodynamic Torques in Circumbinary Accretion Disks
Mackenzie S. L. Moody, Ji-Ming Shi, James M. Stone
Gaseous disks have been proposed as a mechanism for facilitating mergers of binary black holes. We explore circumbinary disk systems to determine the evolution of the central binar…
Nonlinear outcome of gravitational instability in an irradiated protoplanetary disc
Shigenobu Hirose, Ji-Ming Shi
Using local three dimensional radiation hydrodynamics simulations, the nonlinear outcome of gravitational instability in an irradiated protoplanetary disc is investigated in a para…
Dust dynamics in 2D gravito-turbulent disks
Ji-Ming Shi, Zhaohuan Zhu, James M. Stone +1
The dynamics of solid bodies in protoplanetary disks are subject to the properties of any underlying gas turbulence. Turbulence driven by disk self-gravity shows features distinct…
Three Dimensional MHD Simulation of Circumbinary Accretion Disks -2. Net Accretion Rate
Ji-Ming Shi, Julian H. Krolik
When an accretion disk surrounds a binary rotating in the same sense, the binary exerts strong torques on the gas. Analytic work in the 1D approximation indicated that these torque…
Radiation Pressure Supported AGN Tori with Hard X-Ray and Stellar Heating
Jiming Shi, Julian H. Krolik
The dynamics and structure of toroidal obscuration around AGN remain uncertain and controversial. In this paper we extend earlier work on the dynamical role of infrared radiation p…
