Research demonstrates that rotation stabilizes plane Couette flow, while destabilizing plane Poiseuille flow faster, leading to turbulence in forced local accretion disks.
We explore the effect of forcing on the linear shear flow or plane Couette flow, which is also the background flow in the very small region of the Keplerian accretion disk. We show that depending on the strength of forcing and boundary conditions suitable for the systems under consideration, the background plane shear flow, and hence the accretion disk velocity profile, is modified into parabolic flow, which is a plane Poiseuille flow or Couette-Poiseuille flow, depending on the frame of reference. In the presence of rotation, the plane Poiseuille flow becomes unstable at a smaller Reynolds number under pure vertical as well as three-dimensional perturbations. Hence, while rotation stabilizes the plane Couette flow, the same destabilizes the plane Poiseuille flow faster and hence the forced local accretion disk. Depending on the various factors, when the local linear shear flow becomes a Poiseuille flow in the shearing box due to the presence of extra force, the flow becomes unstable even for Keplerian rotation, and hence turbulence will ensue. This helps to resolve the long-standing problem of subcritical transition to turbulence in hydrodynamic accretion disks and the laboratory plane Couette flow.
