Inefficient Angular Momentum Transport in Accretion Disk Boundary Layers: Angular Momentum Belt in the Boundary Layer
Mikhail A. Belyaev, Eliot Quataert
We present unstratified 3D MHD simulations of an accretion disk with a boundary layer (BL) that have a duration orbital periods at the inner radius of the accretion dis…
PICsar2D: Public Release
Mikhail A. Belyaev
PICsar2D is a 2.5D relativistic, electromagnetic, particle in cell code designed for studying the pulsar magnetosphere. The source code and a suite of Python analysis routines can…
Incompressible Modes Excited by Supersonic Shear in Boundary Layers: Acoustic CFS Instability
Mikhail Belyaev
We present an instability for exciting incompressible modes (e.g. gravity or Rossby modes) at the surface of a star accreting through a boundary layer. The instability excites a st…
Spatial Distribution of Pair Production over the Pulsar Polar Cap
Mikhail A. Belyaev, Kyle Parfrey
Using an analytic, axisymmetric approach that includes general relativity, coupled to a condition for pair production deduced from simulations, we derive general results about the…
The Properties of G-modes in Layered Semi-Convection
Mikhail Belyaev, Eliot Quataert, Jim Fuller
We study low frequency waves that propagate in a region of layered semi-convection. Layered semi-convection is predicted to be present in stellar and planetary interiors and can si…
Dissipation, Energy Transfer, and Spindown Luminosity in 2.5D PIC Simulations of the Pulsar Magnetosphere
Mikhail Alexander Belyaev
We perform 2.5D axisymmetric simulations of the pulsar magnetosphere (aligned dipole rotator) using the charge conservative, relativistic, electromagnetic particle in cell code PIC…
