Abstract

An attempt to describe hydromagnetic turbulence in disks by a second-order closure modeling is presented. The third order correlation tensor describing the interaction between the kinetic Reynolds-stress and the magnetic Reynolds-stress (Maxwell-stress) is approximated by using the two-scale DIA approximation. As other closure approximations, for simplicity, the concept of mixing length and eddy viscosity is adopted. A part of magnetic field is assumed to escape from the disk. Next, in order to demonstrate how our modeling should be extended, we retrograde to hydrodynamic turbulence, but solve a more refined set of equations, i.e., the so-called K — ɛ equation for compressible turbulence and show how the structure of turbulence changes with height
