太阳对流层下纬向环流的穿透

On the penetration of meridional circulation below the solar convection zone

P. Garaud, N. H. Brummell

摘要:

在太阳对流区的最上部区域观察到速度为每秒几米的经向流。在太阳内部更深处,特别是靠近辐射区顶部的流动的幅度和模式,对广泛的太阳磁流体动力学过程至关重要。本文系统地研究了大尺度对流区向辐射区的渗透。特别是,我们研究了假设的边界条件应用在对流-辐射界面上的更深的流动的影响。使用简化的分析模型,结合更完整的数值方法,我们表明,对流驱动的对流到更深的内部的渗透不一定局限于一个浅埃克曼深度,但可以渗透得更深,这取决于如何对流辐射界面流建模。

英文摘要:

Meridional flows with velocities of a few meters per second are observed in the uppermost regions of the solar convection zone. The amplitude and pattern of the flows deeper in the solar interior, in particular near the top of the radiative region, are of crucial importance to a wide range of solar magnetohydrodynamical processes. In this paper, we provide a systematic study of the penetration of large-scale meridional flows from the convection zone into the radiative zone. In particular, we study the effects of the assumed boundary conditions applied at the convective-radiative interface on the deeper flows. Using simplified analytical models in conjunction with more complete numerical methods, we show that penetration of the convectively-driven meridional flows into the deeper interior is not necessarily limited to a shallow Ekman depth but can penetrate much deeper, depending on how the convective-radiative interface flows are modeled.
