Three-dimensional numerical simulations of the magnetorotational instability in the shearing box approximation with a nonzero net flux are presented. By changing the size of the computational domain in the radial direction relative to the vertical box height, we find, in agreement with previous studies, that transport of angular momentum (associated with the so-called “channel solution”) is strongly intermittent and maximized for boxes of unit aspect ratio. On the other hand, in boxes with larger aspect ratio the intermittent behavior disappears and angular momentum transport is inhibited.
