We carry out the effect of $\beta$-prescription for viscosity which introduced by Duschel et al. 2000 & Hure, Richard & Zhan 2001, in a standard self-gravitating thin disks. We were predicted in a self-gravitating thin disk the…
We show that the standard model for geometrically thin accretion disks (alpha-disks) leads to inconsistencies if selfgravity plays a role. This problem arises from the parametrization of viscosity in terms of local sound velocity and…
We propose a generalized accretion disk viscosity prescription based on hydrodynamically driven turbulence at the critical effective Reynolds number. This approach is consistent with recent re-analysis by Richard & Zahn (1999) of…
We examine under which conditions one may apply, to steady state keplerian accretion discs, the "beta"-viscosity prescription which has been derived from rotating shear flow experiments (Richard & Zahn 1999). Using a vertically averaged…
We study the nonlinear dynamics of a warped or twisted accretion disc, in which the viscosity coefficients are assumed to be locally proportional to the rotational velocity (beta- prescription). Using asymptotic methods for thin discs,…
Self-similar and semi-analytical solutions are found for the height-averaged equations govern the dynamical behavior of a polytropic, self-gravitating disk under the effects of winds, around the nascent object. In order to describe time…
Almost all hydrodynamic accretion disk models parametrize viscosity with the dimensionless parameter alpha. There is no detailed model for alpha, so it is usually taken to be a constant. However, global simulations of magnetohydrodynamic…
Accretion disk theory was first developed as a theory with the local heat balance, where the whole energy produced by a viscous heating was emitted to the sides of the disk. One of the most important new invention of this theory was the…
The equations governing the vertical structure of a stationary keplerian accretion disc are presented. The model is based on the alpha-viscosity, includes self-gravity, convective transport and turbulent pressure. A few properties of the…
Gravitationally unstable accretion disks emerge in a variety of astrophysical contexts - giant planet formation, FU Orioni outbursts, feeding of AGNs, and the origin of Pop III stars. When a gravitationally unstable disk is unable to cool…
We add the effect of turbulent viscosity via the \alpha-prescription to models of the self-consistent formation and evolution of protostellar discs. Our models are non-axisymmetric and carried out using the thin-disc approximation.…
Aims: We investigate the suitability of {\alpha}-viscosity in self-similar models for self-gravitating disks with a focus on active galactic nuclei (AGN) disks. Methods: We use a self-similar approach to simplify the partial differential…

(Abridged) We study numerically the applicability of the effective-viscosity approach for simulating the effect of gravitational instability (GI) in disks of young stellar objects with different disk-to-star mass ratios \xi. We adopt two…
In the standard thin disc formalism the dimensionless $\alpha$ parameter is usually assumed to be constant. However, there are good theoretical reasons for believing, as well as evidence from simulations, that $\alpha$ is dependent on…
We examine the effects of the different viscosity prescriptions and the magnitude of the viscosity parameter, $\alpha$, on the structure of the slim disk, and discuss the observational implications on accretion-flow into a stellar-mass…
We use well-established observational evidence to draw conclusions about the fundamental nature of the viscosity in accretion discs. To do this, we first summarise the observational evidence for the value of the dimensionless accretion disc…

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…
The physical mechanisms driving angular momentum transport in accretion discs are still unknown. Although it is generally accepted that, in hot discs, the turbulence triggered by the magneto-rotational instability is at the origin of the…
