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 and angular momentum transport in astrophysical disks. Here, we assessed the driven of non-linear transport in differentially rotating systems instabilities. 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

Stability-driven turbulence has a crucial role in explaining the accretion process and angular momentum transport in astrophysical disks. Here, we assessed the driven of non-linear transport in differentially rotating systems instabilities. 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. This analysis is performed with the ideal MHD equations, derived from an unstratified Keplerian cylinder at various Larmor and aspect ratios, and flow profiles. These results are compared to previous work as well as to results obtained from simulations. The effect of magnetic fields and pressure will also be investigated.
