摘要:

我们表明,当地的方向对齐的速度和磁场波动迅速发生在磁流体动力学的各种参数。这在直接数值模拟和太阳风数据中都观察到。该现象是由于磁场与压力梯度或剪切相关的动能梯度之间的对准。在纳维尔-斯托克斯流体的情况下,速度和涡量也有类似的排列。这可能是湍流中最快速和最强的松弛过程,并导致小尺度涡度和流结构中的非线性项局部减弱,其中发生对齐。

英文摘要:

We show that local directional alignment of the velocity and magnetic field fluctuations occurs rapidly in magnetohydrodynamics for a variety of parameters. This is observed both in direct numerical simulations and in solar wind data. The phenomenon is due to an alignment between the magnetic field and either pressure gradients or shear-associated kinetic energy gradients. A similar alignment, of velocity and vorticity, occurs in the Navier Stokes fluid case. This may be the most rapid and robust relaxation process in turbulent flows, and leads to a local weakening of the nonlinear terms in the small scale vorticity and current structures where alignment takes place.
