We describe scenarios for rapid, low-amplitude UV and optical variability in AGNs through phenomenologically modeled asymmetries on accretion disks, which can represent perturbations arising from magnetic, gravitational, and other instabilities. The simulations were done for both the more familiar α-disks, where the viscous shear, t rφ , is proportional to the total pressure, as well as for the β-disk geometry, where the shear is proportional to only the gas pressure; a range of parameters for flare properties and disk structures were considered
