Stationary bending warp of a Kerr disk

ID: stationary-bending-warp-of-a-kerr-disk

For , , constant disk aspect ratio , and , the inviscid steady disk warp equation reduces to in the displayed coordinate. The vanishing inner torque gives ; the outer tilt gives . The displayed solution holds when . If , it is , with an aligned node at and opposite signed inner tilt. For negative spin the corresponding equation is hyperbolic, giving with .
