- 2 accretion disc structure
- 3 Thin Accretion Discs
- 4 Viscosity
- 5 Net torque on disc ring between R, R +
- 6 Remaining term represents dissipation:
- 7 Assume now that disc matter has a small radial velocity VR
- 8 For accretion disc equations etc
- 9 Steady thin discs
- 10 Putting this in the equation for sigma and using the Kepler form of angular velocity we get
