We discuss the dynamics of the accretion flow onto a black hole driven by Poynting flux in a simplified model of a two-dimensional accretion disk. In this simplified model, the condition of the stationary accretion flow is found to impose a…

Generation of Alfv\'en and slow magneto-acoustic waves in weakly ionized atmospheres by excitation of the charges-only component of the two fluid (charges and neutrals) plasma is shown to be more or less efficient depending on the energy…

We present a theory of large-scale dynamo action in a turbulent flow that has stochastic, zero-mean fluctuations of the $\alpha$ parameter. Particularly interesting is the possibility of the growth of the mean magnetic field due to Moffatt…
