Diffusion coefficient of a passive contaminant in a local MHD model of a turbulent accretion disc
We calculate the radial diffusion coefficient for a passive contaminant in an accretion disc which is turbulent due to the action of the magnetorotational instability. Numerical MHD simulations are used to follow the evolution of a local patch of the disc using the shearing box formalism. A separate continuity equation …
