On the Dynamical Foundations of Alpha Disks
The dynamical foundations of $\alpha$ disk models are described. At the heart of the viscous formalism of accretion disk models are correlations in the fluctuating components of the disk velocity, magnetic field, and gravitational potential. We relate these correlations to the large scale mean flow...
