Chaos in Turbulence Driven by the Magnetorotational Instability
Chaotic flow is studied in a series of numerical magnetohydrodynamical simulations that use the shearing box formalism. This mimics important features of local accretion disk dynamics. The magnetorotational instability gives rise to flow turbulence, and quantitative chaos parameters, such as the lar...
