Angular Momentum Transport in Accretion Disk Boundary Layers Around Weakly Magnetized Stars
The standard model for turbulent shear viscosity in accretion disks is based on the assumption that angular momentum transport is opposite to the radial angular frequency gradient of the disk. This implies that the turbulent stress must be negative and thus transport angular momentum inwards, in...
