Linear Bending Wave Propagation in Laminar and Turbulent Disks by Callum W. Fairbairn

“…In this work, we conduct 3D grid-based, numerical experiments of bending waves in laminar, viscous hydrodynamic and turbulent, weakly magnetized disks, capturing their behavior in unprecedented detail. We clearly elucidate the theory from first principles, wherein the general Fourier–Hermite formalism can be simplified to a reduced framework which extends previous results toward locally isothermal disks. …”
