Vandakurov-Tayler不稳定性与z相关的差异旋转的螺旋度产生和α效应

Helicity generation and alpha-effect by Vandakurov-Tayler instability with z-dependent differential rotation

摘要:

我们在等温MHD模拟中研究了在圆柱形封闭空间中由z相关的微分旋转作用于给定的轴向场B^0而产生的环形磁场的不稳定性,特别是由此产生的非轴对称流的螺旋度是令人感兴趣的。探讨了螺旋度H与外场和微分转动的关系为H ~ B^0_iB^0_j Ω_i,j.观测到的不稳定性导致了主模m=1的非轴对称解.随着不稳定性的发生,运动学和电流螺旋度都产生了,这满足了建议的关系。显然,差旋dOmega/dz只需要一个外部轴向场B^0_z就能产生大量的螺旋度。螺旋度的时间依赖性不存在规律性,轴向α效应主要是由当前的螺旋度引起的,两者之间的特征时间尺度为自转时间的量级。如果轴向磁场被关闭,那么螺旋度和α效应就消失了。

英文摘要:

We investigate in isothermal MHD simulations the instability of toroidal magnetic fields resulting by the action of z-dependent differential rotation on a given axial field B^0 in a cylindrical enclosure where in particular the helicity of the resulting nonaxisymmetric flow is of interest. The idea is probed that helicity H is related to the external field and the differential rotation as H ~ B^0_i B^0_j Omega_i,j. The observed instability leads to a nonaxisymmetric solution with dominating mode m=1. With the onset of instability both kinematic and current helicity are produced which fulfill the suggested relation. Obviously, differential rotation dOmega/dz only needs an external axial field B^0_z to produce remarkable amounts of the helicities. Any regular time-dependency of the helicity could not be found. The resulting axial alpha-effect is mainly due to the current helicity, the characteristic time scale between both the values is of order of the rotation time. If the axial field is switched off then the helicity and the alpha-effect disappear.
