在通量输运发电机模式中对流的作用

On the role of meridional flows in flux transport dynamo models

L. Jouve, A. S. Brun

摘要:

太阳是一颗磁星,其磁性和周期性活动与内部发电机的存在有关。我们的目标是了解太阳磁场22年周期的建立,其相关的蝴蝶图和场宇称选择通过太阳全球发电机的数值模拟。受最近的观测和三维模拟,都表现出多细胞流在太阳对流区的启发,我们试图解释各种配置文件的流通太阳平均场发电机模型的行为的影响。我们正在使用2-D平均场通量传输Babcock-Leighton数值模型,其中我们测试了几种类型的对流:1个大的单细胞,2个细胞的半径和4个细胞每半球。我们确认,增加细胞的纬度往往加快发电机周期,而增加细胞的半径超过三倍的周期。我们发现,在四个细胞模型的周期是不太敏感的流速比在其他简单的纬向环流廓线研究。此外,我们的研究表明,增加细胞的半径或纬度似乎有利于宇称切换到一个四极的解决方案。根据我们的数值模式,所观察到的22年周期和偶极宇称很容易复制的模型,包括多细胞对流。相反,由此产生的蝶形图和相位关系之间的环向和极向场的影响,它是不可能的,这样的多细胞对流持续很长一段时间内的太阳,而不必重新考虑模型本身。

英文摘要:

The Sun is a magnetic star whose magnetism and cyclic activity is linked to the existence of an internal dynamo. We aim to understand the establishment of the solar magnetic 22-yr cycle, its associated butterfly diagram and field parity selection through numerical simulations of the solar global dynamo. Inspired by recent observations and 3D simulations that both exhibit multicellular flows in the solar convection zone, we seek to characterise the influence of various profiles of circulation on the behaviour of solar mean-field dynamo models. We are using 2-D mean field flux transport Babcock-Leighton numerical models in which we test several types of meridional flows: 1 large single cell, 2 cells in radius and 4 cells per hemisphere. We confirm that adding cells in latitude tends to speed up the dynamo cycle whereas adding cells in radius more than triples the period. We find that the cycle period in the four cells model is less sensitive to the flow speed than in the other simpler meridional circulation profiles studied. Moreover, our studies show that adding cells in radius or in latitude seems to favour the parity switching to a quadrupolar solution. According to our numerical models, the observed 22-yr cycle and dipolar parity is easily reproduced by models including multicellular meridional flows. On the contrary, the resulting butterfly diagram and phase relationship between the toroidal and poloidal fields are affected to a point where it is unlikely that such multicellular meridional flows persist for a long period of time inside the Sun, without having to reconsider the model itself.
