Abstract

Our previous studies of large-scale vortical flows arising in shear flows of stellar accretion disks with Keplerian azimuthal velocity distributions as a result of the development of small perturbations are continued. The development of large-scale instability in an accretion disk is investigated via mathematical modeling. One result obtained is the change of the disk flow structure due to the formation of large vortices. In the limiting case, sufficiently long evolution leads to the formation of several asymmetric spiral structures of the flow of disk matter. The presence of large-scale structures leads to angular-momentum redistribution in the disk.
