Magnetorotational Instability

Magnetorotational Instability is a hydrodynamic instability in differentially rotating magnetized fluids, characterized by the amplification of small perturbations due to the coupled effects of magnetic tension and rotational shear, leading to enhanced angular momentum transport in accretion disks.
