摘要:

并行超级计算机的发展使今天的崩溃和星前核心的碎片的详细研究与越来越精确的数值模拟。由于亚毫米观测的进步,广泛的观测初始条件使我们能够研究低质量恒星形成的不同模式。模拟的挑战是再现观测结果。星前核坍塌和碎裂的数值模拟主要采用两种方法,即AMR和SPH。我们彻底比较这两种方法在他们的标准框架。我们使用AMR代码RAMSES和SPH代码DRAGON。我们的物理模型尽可能简单,由一个绕z轴旋转的等温球体组成。我们首先研究角动量守恒作为分辨率的函数。然后,我们探索了广泛的模拟参数来研究星前核的破碎。这两种方法之间似乎有一种趋同性,只要每种情况下的分辨率都足够。分辨率标准适应我们的物理情况下,在每金斯质量的分辨率,准确描述的形成的原恒星核心推导出本研究。这种融合是令人鼓舞的未来工作在模拟低质量恒星的形成,提供上述标准得到满足。更高分辨率的数字可从http://www-dapnia.cea.fr/Projets/COAST/paper_amrvssph.pdf下载

英文摘要:

The development of parallel supercomputers allows today the detailed study of the collapse and the fragmentation of prestellar cores with increasingly accurate numerical simulations. Thanks to the advances in sub-millimeter observations, a wide range of observed initial conditions enable us to study the different modes of low-mass star formation. The challenge for the simulations is to reproduce the observational results. Two main numerical methods, namely AMR and SPH, are widely used to simulate the collapse and the fragmentation of prestellar cores. We compare thoroughly these two methods within their standard framework. We use the AMR code RAMSES and the SPH code DRAGON. Our physical model is as simple as possible and consists of an isothermal sphere rotating around the z-axis. We first study the conservation of angular momentum as a function of the resolution. Then, we explore a wide range of simulation parameters to study the fragmentation of prestellar cores. There seems to be a convergence between the two methods, provided resolution in each case is sufficient. Resolution criteria adapted to our physical cases, in terms of resolution per Jeans mass, for an accurate description of the formation of protostellar cores are deduced from the present study. This convergence is encouraging for future work in simulations of low-mass star formation, providing the aforementioned criteria are fulfilled.
