Stability analysis of differentially rotating disks with global curvature effects

Published by Princeton, 2024

For my thesis at Princeton, I explored the general instability of differentially rotating plasmas via both spectral and initial-value numerical methods.

Thesis

Non-ideal stability analysis of differentially rotating disks with global curvature effects

Presented at Sherwood, 2025

Stability-driven turbulence has a crucial role in explaining the accretion process... In this talk, we explore the roles and interaction between two key instabilities. This involves looking at the MRI, as well as the novel non-axisymmetric Magneto-Curvature Instability (MCI) in the strong-field limit.

Stability analysis of differentially rotating disks with global curvature effects

Presented at APS DPP, 2024

Stability-driven turbulence plays a crucial role in explaining the accretion process and angular momentum transport in astrophysical disks. This thesis surveys the stability of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in the strong-field limit as well as, in particular, the Magneto-Curvature Instability (MCI).

Momentum transport in simulations of differentially rotating disks with global curvature effects

Presented at APS DPP, 2023

Here, we assessed the driven of non-linear transport in differentially rotating systems instabilities... This analysis is performed with the ideal MHD equations, derived from an unstratified Keplerian cylinder at various Larmor and aspect ratios, and flow profiles.
