Scientific paper

We present some analyses of warping modes in inviscid near Keplerian disks taking the three-dimensional structure fully into account. The results of this investigation verify the validity of a vertical averaging approximation for thin disks when the radial wavelength is significantly longer than the disk thickness. They also indicate that long wavelength disturbances may persist for long times. Shorter wavelength disturbances in non-self gravitating disks are found to propagate with little dispersion at a speed related to the sound speed. When self-gravity becomes important, fast and slow waves are found which also propagate with little dispersion. When a small viscosity is included, the evolution of the disturbances becomes more diffusive in character.
