Disks play a role in many astrophysical phenomena, typically as mixers of angular momentum. This study addresses the disk in a simplified incarnation based on the premise that there are fundamental fluid dynamical questions to be answered before developing more complete models. While astronomical studies often stress the distinctions among different manifestations of disks and relevant boundary conditions (source of material infall, presence of a companion, etc.), we argue that some of the essential actions of disks are performed by dynamical processes that occur on the shortest of all disk timescales for which radial infall velocities and boundary conditions are largely negligible.
