A pure hydrodynamic instability in shear flows and its application to astrophysical accretion disks
Sujit Kumar Nath, Banibrata Mukhopadhyay
We provide the possible resolution for the century old problem of hydrodynamic shear flows, which are apparently stable in linear analysis but shown to be turbulent in astrophysica…

Emergence of nonlinearity and plausible turbulence in accretion disks via hydromagnetic transient growth faster than magnetorotational instability
Sujit K. Nath, Banibrata Mukhopadhyay
We investigate the evolution of hydromagnetic perturbations in a small section of accretion disks. It is known that molecular viscosity is negligible in accretion disks. Hence, it…
