مستخلص: Explaining the causes of angular momentum transfer in accretion stellar disks is an important astrophysical problem, since it is the process that determines the rate of accretion of matter onto the central gravitating body. Previously, within the framework of a two-dimensional approach, it was shown that the introduction of small perturbations into the flow of accretion disk leads to the appearance of shear instability. This process is accompanied by the development of large-scale vortex structures. Their movement and evolution lead to a redistribution of angular momentum in the accretion disk. The action of the described mechanism was previously studied numerically only within a two-dimensional approximation, so the goal of the current work is to carry out full-scale three-dimensional modeling. The processes under study are described within the framework of the system of equations of ideal gas dynamics. The article briefly describes the method for their numerical integration, which is based on a conservative finite-difference scheme and the solution of the Riemann problem. The initial data is a stationary toroidal gas state surrounded by a matter with low density and pressure. At the next step, small perturbations of one of the gas-dynamic variables are introduced. The modeling and analysis of the results of numerical calculations show the emergence of vortex structures in the shear flow of a three-dimensional accretion disk. Their movement is accompanied by a redistribution of matter and angular momentum in the volume of the disk, leading to accretion of matter onto the central body. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
