The Source of Turbulence in Astrophysical Disks An Ill-posed Problem.
The Source of Turbulence in
Astrophysical Disks:
An Ill-posed Problem.

Astrophysical Disks
Disks are ubiquitous in Astrophysics :
* Planetary disks
* Circumstellar Disks (around young stars)
* Binary systems
* Active Galactic Nuclei (around black holes)
Therefore, understanding disks is fundamental to understand
planetary and stellar formation and evolution.
Wide range of sizes :
From Saturns rings ( ~ 107 km) to AGN disks (~ parsec = 3.1 10 13 km)
Wide variety of complex physical processes,
one of them being the transport of angular momentum.

Turbulence in Disks
* Accretion Disk : gas and “dust” falling inward, toward the central object.
* Thin disk = H/R 1 → Keplerian rotation : Ω ~ r -3/2 (no radial or
vertical velocity in first approximation)
* To maintain stationary rotation, angular momentum needs to be
transported outward.
* Need for an adequate transport mechanism.
* Molecular viscosity is too small.
* Turbulence : instability mechanism ? Transport properties ?
* Early models : Shakura Sunyaev 1973 :
* Turbulence most likely generated by differential rotation (shear flow).
* Ad hoc model for transport : turbulent viscosity based on smallest constraints :
ν
t
= α . Cs . H
A Short History of Turbulence Models for Accretion Disks
* 1973 – 1991 : Shakura Sunyaev era :
- Source of turbulence unknown (shear flow assumption ?)
- Work on turbulence, in order to improve transport model.
- meanwhile, transport model : ν
t
= α . Cs . H
* 1991 : Magneto Rotational Instability rediscovered
Weak magnetic field coupled to shear flow gives rise to a linear instability.
(Chandrasekhar 1960, Balbus Hawley 1991)
* 1991 – present : MRI era :
- Source of turbulence : MRI
- Turbulent model : ν
t
= α . Cs . H
Turbulent Viscosity Model
What is it ?
* Analytically : A description of tu
