The cause seems to be the shear, which is now fixed at q=1.5 (Keplerian rotation profile). If we raise this value, it explodes earlier. Recommended resolution: nz=128 (nu=eta=1e-3) Comments: Magneto-rotational instability with Hall effect. Nonlinear saturation. The acoustic and MRI parts work together such that the acoustic waves seem to lead to the saturation of the MRI. The acoustic wave is initially dominant, but at some point the MRI (uperp_rms) takes over and at a later time both seem to saturate. This situation is clearly shown plotting the logarithms of rms values (u_rms,uz_rms,uperp_rms) vs. time.
