阈值附近的磁转动不稳定性:时空振幅方程和饱和
The magneto-rotational instability near threshold: spatio-temporal amplitude equation and saturation
摘要:
通过微扰弱非线性分析,我们证明了薄间隙中磁Taylor-Couette(mTC)流的轴对称磁旋转不稳定性(MRI),在很小的磁Prandtl数(P_m)下,产生一个关于扰动振幅的实Ginzburg-Landau方程。发现饱和振幅A_s在此范围内与P^δ成比例,其中1/2<δ<2/3(取决于所采用的边界条件)。渐近结果表明,遵守通过使用频谱代码进行的数值计算。这表明,当P_m << 1时,由于非线性发展的MRI引起的输运可能非常小。
英文摘要:
We show, by means of a perturbative weakly nonlinear analysis, that the axisymmetric magneto-rotational instability (MRI) in a magnetic Taylor-Couette (mTC) flow in a thin-gap gives rise, for very small magnetic Prandtl numbers (P_m), to a real Ginzburg-Landau equation for the disturbance amplitude. The saturation amplitude A_s is found to scale in this regime as P^δ, with 1/2<δ<2/3 (depending on the boundary conditions adopted). The asymptotic results are shown to comply with numerical calculations performed by using a spectral code. They suggest that the transport due to the nonlinearly developed MRI may be vanishingly small for P_m << 1.
