We present results from the first 3D kinetic numerical simulation of magnetorotational turbulence and dynamo, using the local shearing-box model of a collisionless accretion disc. The kinetic magnetorotational instability grows from a…

We derive analytically the vorticity generated downstream of a two-dimensional rippled hydromagnetic shock neglecting fluid viscosity and resistivity. The growth of the turbulent component of the downstream magnetic field is driven by the…

We study the star-disc interaction in the presence of the strong magnetic field ($B_\star=6.2kG$) of a slowly rotating star. This situation describes a post-merger of the spectral type B and has not been previously investigated. We perform…

This work concentrates on the effect of an irrotational forcing on a magnetized flow in the presence of rotation, baroclinicity, shear, or a combination of them. By including magnetic field in the model we can evaluate the occurrence of…

Many accreting systems are modeled as geometrically thin disks. Simulations of accretion disks cannot be extended to this regime, although local models can address the behavior of narrow annuli. A global model needs to account for the…

Turbulence in rotating Magneto-hydrodynamic systems is studied theoretically and numerically. In the linear limit, when the velocity and magnetic perturbations are small, the system supports two types of waves. When the rotation effects are…

The generation of a magnetic field in a circular rarefaction wave is examined in form of a 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. Electrons with a temperature of 32 keV are uniformly distributed within a cloud with a radius of 14.2 electron…
