Nonaccreting similarity disk supplied by an inner torque
ID: nonaccreting-similarity-disk-supplied-by-an-inner-torque
The compact self-similar disk with density-linear viscosity has outward drift but zero limiting mass flux at the origin. Its viscous torque in an accretion disk has a positive finite inner limit for , equal to . Thus disk mass conservation coexists with growth of angular momentum; an external central torque supplies that growth.
