MRI channel flows and their parasites

Local simulations of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in accretion discs can exhibit recurrent coherent structures called channel flows. The formation and destruction of these structures may play a role in the development and saturation of MRI-induced turbulence, and consequently help us unde...
