Abstract: The magnetorotational instability (MRI) has long been considered a plausibly ubiquitous mechanism to destabilize otherwise stable Keplerian flows to support radially outward transport of angular momentum. Such an efficient transport process would allow fast accretion… read more here.

Abstract: Stability and nonlinear evolution of rotating magnetohydrodynamic flows in the Princeton magnetorotational instability (MRI) experiment are examined using three-dimensional non-axisymmetric simulations. In particular, the effect of axial boundary conductivity on a free Stewartson-Shercliff layer (SSL)… read more here.

Abstract: We report the first direct evidence for the axisymmetric standard magnetorotational instability (SMRI) from a combined experimental and numerical study of a magnetized liquid-metal shear flow in a Taylor-Couette cell with independently rotating and electrically… read more here.
