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…
Angular Momentum Transport by Acoustic Modes Generated in the Boundary Layer II: MHD Simulations
Mikhail A. Belyaev, Roman R. Rafikov, James. M. Stone
We perform global unstratified 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations of an astrophysical boundary layer (BL) -- an interface region between an accretion disk and a weakly magnetized a…
Angular Momentum Transport by Acoustic Modes Generated in the Boundary Layer I: Hydrodynamical Theory and Simulations
Mikhail A. Belyaev, Roman R. Rafikov, James M. Stone
The nature of angular momentum transport in the boundary layers of accretion disks has been one of the central and long-standing issues of accretion disk theory. In this work we de…
Angular Momentum Transport and Variability in Boundary Layers of Accretion Disks Driven by Global Acoustic Modes
Mikhail A. Belyaev, Roman R. Rafikov, James M. Stone
Disk accretion onto a weakly magnetized central object, e.g. a star, is inevitably accompanied by the formation of a boundary layer near the surface, in which matter slows down fro…
Supersonic Shear Instabilities in Astrophysical Boundary Layers
Mikhail Belyaev, Roman Rafikov
Disk accretion onto weakly magnetized astrophysical objects often proceeds via a boundary layer that forms near the object's surface, in which the rotation speed of the accreted ga…
