Gap Formation by Planets in Turbulent Protostellar Disks
Wayne F. Winters, Steven A. Balbus, John F. Hawley
The processes of planet formation and migration depend intimately on the interaction between planetesimals and the gaseous disks in which they form. The formation of gaps in the di…
Chaos in Turbulence Driven by the Magnetorotational Instability
W. F. Winters, S. A. Balbus, J. F. Hawley
Chaotic flow is studied in a series of numerical magnetohydrodynamical simulations that use the shearing box formalism. This mimics important features of local accretion disk dynam…
Local Hydrodynamic Stability of Accretion Disks
John F. Hawley, Steven A. Balbus, Wayne F. Winters
We employ a variety of numerical simulations in the local shearing box system to investigate in greater depth the local hydrodynamic stability of Keplerian differential rotation. I…
