Ia型超新星中火焰驱动的爆燃到爆轰转变?

Flame-driven deflagration-to-detonation transitions in Type Ia supernovae?

F. K. Roepke

摘要:

虽然白矮星热核爆炸的延迟爆轰模型似乎很有希望重现Ia型超新星,但火焰传播模式从亚音速爆燃到超音速爆轰的转变仍然是假设的。发生这种转变的一个潜在时刻是分布式燃烧状态的开始,即湍流首先影响内部火焰结构的时刻。一些燃烧微观物理的研究表明,在这里,燃烧到爆轰的转变是可能的,只要湍流强度足够强。因此,湍流的速度波动产生的爆燃火焰的大小进行了分析,在几个三维模拟的热核超新星爆燃的分布式燃烧制度的发病。结果表明,相应的概率密度函数下降到高湍流速度波动慢得多,比高斯分布。因此,声称触发爆炸所需的数值很可能在足够大的火焰块中找到。虽然燃烧的微观物理演化没有遵循,成功的燃烧到爆炸的过渡不能保证从模拟这里,结果仍然表明,这样的事件可能在Ia型超新星爆炸。

英文摘要:

Although delayed detonation models of thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs seem promising for reproducing Type Ia supernovae, the transition of the flame propagation mode from subsonic deflagration to supersonic detonation remains hypothetical. A potential instant for this transition to occur is the onset of the distributed burning regime, i.e. the moment when turbulence first affects the internal flame structure. Some studies of the burning microphysics indicate that a deflagration-to-detonation transition may be possible here, provided the turbulent intensities are strong enough. Consequently, the magnitude of turbulent velocity fluctuations generated by the deflagration flame is analyzed at the onset of the distributed burning regime in several three-dimensional simulations of deflagrations in thermonuclear supernovae. It is shown that the corresponding probability density functions fall off towards high turbulent velocity fluctuations much more slowly than a Gaussian distribution. Thus, values claimed to be necessary for triggering a detonation are likely to be found in sufficiently large patches of the flame. Although the microphysical evolution of the burning is not followed and a successful deflagration-to-detonation transition cannot be guaranteed from simulations presented here, the results still indicate that such events may be possible in Type Ia supernova explosions.
