Abstract

The rotational behavior of accretion disks is subject to an as yet not finally determined mechanism of angular momentum transport. Shallow water accretion disk experiments allow for replication and measurement of thesedynamics. This paper reports the set-up of an experimental prototype aswell as the measurement of angular momentum transport under the influence of MHD-like effects as they are expected to occur in an accretion disk.
