Numerical Simulations of the MRI and Real Disks
S. A. Balbus
Numerical MHD codes have become extraordinarily powerful tools with which to study accretion turbulence. They have been used primarily to extract values for the classical param…
Nonlinear Scale Invariance in Local Disk Flows
Steven A. Balbus
An exact nonlinear scaling transformation is presented for the local three-dimensional dynamical equations of motion for differentially rotating disks. The result is relevant to ar…
On the Minimum Energy Configuration of a Rotating Barotropic Fluid: A Response to Narayan & Pringle astro-ph/0208161
Sebastien Fromang, Steven A. Balbus
The authors respond to the commentary listed in the title.
When is Uniform Rotation an Energy Minimum?
Sebastien Fromang, Steven A. Balbus
A simple variational calculation is presented showing that a uniformly rotating barotropic fluid in an external potential attains a true energy minimum if and only if the rotation…
Numerical Simulations of MHD Turbulence in Accretion Disks
Steven A. Balbus, John F. Hawley
We review numerical simulations of MHD turbulence. The last decade has witnessed fundamental advances both in the technical capabilities of direct numerical simulation, and in our…
