Canuto, V.M., I. Goldman, and O. Hubickyj, 1984: A formula for the Shakura-Sunyaev turbulent viscosity parameter. Astrophys. J., 280, L55-L58, doi:10.1086/184269.

A formula for the Shakura-Sunyaev α-parameter is proposed in terms of the growth of the unstable modes driving turbulence. In the case of convective instability in a differentially rotating disk, α is given in terms of the parameters of the disk, namely T, R, ρ, and Ω.
