Scientific paper

Small-scale hydrodynamic instabilities (shear instability and thermal convections) which can provide turbulization of accretion disks of compact objects were analyzed. Domains of the existence of each of these instabilities are determined; it is shown that shear turbulence has no gyrotropic nature, while the thermal convection has and can generate a large-scale magnetic field. Sequences of the difference in statistic characteristics of these turbulences are described depending on the extensions of the domains of their existence.
