摘要: The transport of angular momentum is the central issue in accretion disk dynamics. We review recent three-dimensional simulations that investigate possible transport mechanisms. Purely hydrodynamic local instabilities and turbulence are ruled out; global spiral waves remain a possibility. MHD turbulence, arising from a local MHD instability, has been shown effective in transporting angular momentum at dynamically important rates. These results establish the basic picture of accretion disk transport.
