Theory of Turbulent Accretion Disks
In low-mass disks, turbulent torques are probably the most important way of redistributing angular momentum. Here we present the theory of turbulent accretion disks. We show the molecular viscosity is far too small to account for the evolutionary timescale of disks, and we describe how turbulence ma...
