Abstract

Based on the equations of the self-generated magnetic field in the q-distributed plasmas, the studies show that the magnetic field is modulationally unstable by the perturbation method and the equations have self-similar collapse solution. The anomalous magnetic viscosity of accretion disks generates from highly spatially intermittent flux of the self-generated magnetic field. In addition, the anomalous viscosity coefficient is 8 orders more than the molecular viscosity and is modified by the adjustable index q, which may preferably explain the observations.
