湍流磁场中的扩散过程

Diffusion Processes in Turbulent Magnetic Fields

Alex Lazarian

摘要:

本文研究了湍流对磁化介质中扩散过程的影响。虽然我们用热传导过程代替了我们的处理,但我们的结果是相当普遍的,并且适用于不同的过程,例如重元素的扩散。我们的处理也适用于描述由磁场漂移引起的宇宙射线扩散。特别是,我们发现,当能量注入速度小于阿尔芬速度的热传递被部分抑制,而在相反的制度的湍流的影响取决于驱动的强度。实际上,湍流速度等于阿尔芬速度的尺度$l_A$是一个新的重要参数。当电子平均自由程$λ$大于$l_A$时,湍流越强,电子热导率越低。然而,湍流运动诱导其自身的平流输送,这可以提供有效的扩散。对于星系团,我们发现湍流是最重要的传热媒介。我们还表明,子扩散概念的适用范围是相当有限的。

英文摘要:

We study of the effect of turbulence on diffusion processes within magnetized medium. While we exemplify our treatment with heat transfer processes, our results are quite general and are applicable to different processes, e.g. diffusion of heavy elements. Our treatment is also applicable to describing the diffusion of cosmic rays arising from magnetic field wandering. In particular, we find that when the energy injection velocity is smaller than the Alfven speed the heat transfer is partially suppressed, while in the opposite regime the effects of turbulence depend on the intensity of driving. In fact, the scale $l_A$ at which the turbulent velocity is equal the Alfven velocity is a new important parameter. When the electron mean free path $λ$ is larger than $l_A$, the stronger the the turbulence, the lower thermal conductivity by electrons is. The turbulent motions, however, induces their own advective transport, that can provide effective diffusivity. For clusters of galaxies, we find that the turbulence is the most important agent for heat transfer. We also show that the domain of applicability of the subdiffusion concept is rather limited.
