loss of the mass falling into the center has to be compensated by an angular momentum gain of the mass far from the center. In other words, angular momentum should be transported outward for matter to accrete. According to the Rayleigh stability criterion,
:where represents the angular velocity of a fluid element and its distance to the rotation center,an accretion disk is expected to be a laminar flow.
