分子云丰度和反常扩散

Molecular cloud abundances and anomalous diffusion

G. Marschalko, K. Petrovay, E. Forgacs-Dajka

摘要:

分子云的化学已经研究了几十年,对所涉及的反应的处理越来越普遍和复杂。然而,湍流扩散的处理仍然非常粗略,假设简单的菲克扩散与标量扩散系数D。然而,与星际介质中的湍流相似的湍流已知会引起异常扩散现象,更具体地说是超扩散(扩散率随着所涉及的空间尺度而增加)。本文考虑在何种程度上,在何种意义上超扩散修改星际云的分子丰度。对于这个问题的第一次探索,我们采用了一个非常粗略的处理化学和非均匀云密度的扩散方程的影响也以简化的方式处理。然而,结果清楚地表明,超扩散的效果是相当显着的,在一个给定的半径被修改的单位因子的顺序的丰度值。这种影响的意义和性质是非常重要的。

英文摘要:

The chemistry of molecular clouds has been studied for decades, with an increasingly general and sophisticated treatment of the reactions involved. Yet the treatment of turbulent diffusion has remained extremely sketchy, assuming simple Fickian diffusion with a scalar diffusivity D. However, turbulent flows similar to those in the interstellar medium are known to give rise to anomalous diffusion phenomena, more specifically superdiffusion (increase of the diffusivity with the spatial scales involved). This paper considers to what extent and in what sense superdiffusion modifies molecular abundances in interstellar clouds. For this first exploration of the subject we employ a very rough treatment of the chemistry and the effect of non-unifom cloud density on the diffusion equation is also treated in a simplified way. The results nevertheless clearly demonstrate that the effect of superdiffusion is quite significant, abundance values at a given radius being modified by order of unity factors. The sense and character of this influence is highly nontrivial.
