Three-component modeling of C-rich AGB star winds IV. Revised interpretation with improved numerical descriptions

Christer Sandin

摘要:

描述沙尘驱动风的模型对于理解渐近巨星分支质量损失的物理机制和性质具有重要意义。这些模型变得越来越逼真,包括更详细的物理学,但计算要求也更高。本研究的目的是澄清在何种程度上应用的数值方法影响模拟风的物理结构,并讨论由此产生的变化。根据以前开发的辐射流体动力学模型-其中包括随时间变化的尘埃形成和气体尘埃漂移的描述-并使用其物理假设和参数,数值改进。所谓的自适应网格方程和平流方案的影响进行评估,从不同的数值设置计算的模型。结果表明,风模型的数值不精确性的影响很大,显示差异计算的物理性质高达100%.Using非自适应网格,模型成为周期性的(在恒星脉动周期的倍数),而不是不规则的,如前所述。此外,数值上的改进揭示了物理结构的变化。气尘漂移的影响被证实是非常重要的,特别是粉尘成分。气体和尘埃的耦合比以前更不紧密,并且假设漂移会形成大量的尘埃。

英文摘要:

Models describing dust-driven winds are important for understanding the physical mechanism and properties of mass loss on the asymptotic giant branch. These models are becoming increasingly realistic with more detailed physics included, but also more computationally demanding. The purpose of this study is to clarify to what extent the applied numerical approach affects resulting physical structures of modelled winds, and to discuss resulting changes. Following the previously developed radiation hydrodynamic model - which includes descriptions for time-dependent dust formation and gas-dust drift - and using its physical assumptions and parameters, numerical improvements are introduced. Impacts of the so-called adaptive grid equation and advection schemes are assessed from models calculated with different numerical setups. Results show that wind models are strongly influenced by numerical imprecision, displaying differences in calculated physical properties of up to one hundred per cent. Using a non-adaptive grid, models become periodic (in multiples of stellar pulsation periods), instead of irregular, as obtained previously. Furthermore, the numerical improvements reveal changes in physical structures. The influence of gas-dust drift is confirmed to be highly important, in particular for the dust component. Gas and dust are less tightly coupled than previously, and drastically larger amounts of dust form assuming drift.
