Abstract.

The solution of the steady state of accretion disks surrounding non-rotating black holes is solved by numerical simulations, where we adopt a promising viscosity prescription (i.e. anomalous magnetic viscosity). We can describe the disk more exactly than other studies, because the viscosity we adopted is close to the truth accretion disk. In contrast to previous studies, the curve of the Mach number behaves differently owing to the decline of the local sound velocity with increasing radii.

The stability of these disks has been examined. We find that the O-mode (out-mode) is always unstable and its growth rate decreases monotonically with increasing wavelength, in the inner disk and in the outer disk. The I-mode (in-mode) is unstable in the outer disk, but stable in the inner disk when the wavelength is greater than a special value.
