Problems
1. Turbulent viscosity ? damping No
reflection boundaries 2. Linear oscillations
(small amplitude) need an excitation mechanism to
be detected
3
Disc Oscillations
e.g. Kato 2001 Lubow Pringle 1993
4
Dispersion Relation
  • Far from resonances
    DR

5
Keplerian Disc
freq2 in units of (c3/10GM)2
radius in units of GM/c2
6
Relativistic Disc
Using particle orbit, relativistic expressions
for characteristic frequencies (Kato 1990)
freq2 in units of (c3/10GM)2
Kato Fukue 1980 Okazaki, Kato, Fukue 1987
radius in units of GM/c2

Conclusions
  • In a relativistic disc, inertial modes can, in
    principle, avoid turbulent effects by being
    trapped in a small region
  • These modes can be excited via the coupling
    mechanism described here, provided that
  • Negative energy (intermediate) mode dissipates
    in order to remove rotational energy from the
    disc
  • Global deformations reach the inner disc region
    with non-negligible amplitude
  • Measure black hole spin.
