Steady-state quantities describing the turbulence state in the disk for the fiducial model. Panel a: local turbulence parameter, α (Eq. (40)), as a function of location in the disk. The region above the solid red line corresponds to where β > 1. The dashed white lines correspond to the surfaces z = 1 Hgas, z = 2 Hgas, z = 3 Hgas, and z = 4 Hgas, from bottom to top, respectively. Panel b: vertical profiles for the local turbulent parameter, α, at various radial locations, with color codes as in Fig. 4. Panel c: MRI-active layer thickness, hMRI, as a function of radius, expressed in terms of the disk gas scale height, Hgas. Panel d: pressure-weighted vertically integrated turbulent parameter, (Eq. (6)), as a function of radius. The dashed gray line shows the profile after the first iteration. From light-colored solid lines to dark ones, we show how the pressure-weighted verticallyintegrated turbulent parameter converges through iterations until the equilibrium solution is reached (dotted red line). Panel e: same as in panel d, but for the accretion rate, Ṁacc (Eq. (43)).
