Lecture
Viscous Torque in Astrophysics
Description
This lecture covers the role of viscosity in astrophysical objects, focusing on accretion disks and the central role of viscosity in redistributing angular momentum. The presentation delves into the thin disk equations, assumptions, and the concept of viscous torque. It also explores the energy estimates behind the shining of astrophysical objects and the efficiency of energy conversion in accretion processes.
