Abstract

We discuss models for accretion disks in close binary systems in which the turbulent viscosity and convective energy transport are fully coupled in the convectively structured zones. Thus, at least in these regions, it is no longer necessary to introduce an ad hoc viscosity parameter removing one free parameter of previously described models. The implications and predictions of the models are described. Finally the assumption of isotropy of the turbulence is discussed.
