三维激波-云相互作用的磁流体动力学

The Magnetohydrodynamics of Shock-Cloud Interaction in Three Dimensions

Min-Su Shin, James M. Stone, Gregory F. Snyder

摘要:

作为研究星际介质中具有密度不均匀性的激波相互作用的模型,研究了稠密球形云与强平面激波相互作用时的磁流体动力学演化。云被假定为足够小,辐射冷却,热传导和自引力可以忽略不计。各种初始取向(包括平行,垂直,和斜入射冲击法线)和强度的磁场进行了研究。在相互作用的早期阶段(小于所传输的冲击穿过云内部所需时间的两倍),冲击云的结构和动力学对磁场强度和方向相当不敏感。然而,在晚些时候,强场大大改变了云的动力学,通过稳定云表面的界面来抑制碎片和混合。与流体动力学的情况相比,即使是微弱的磁场也能极大地改变云的演化。不同几何形状的弱场导致磁能密度的不同分布和放大,这可能会影响与超新星遗迹等相关的冲击云预期的热和非热x射线发射。

英文摘要:

The magnetohydrodynamic evolution of a dense spherical cloud as it interacts with a strong planar shock is studied, as a model for shock interactions with density inhomogeneities in the interstellar medium. The cloud is assumed to be small enough that radiative cooling, thermal conduction, and self-gravity can be ignored. A variety of initial orientations (including parallel, perpendicular, and oblique to the incident shock normal) and strengths for the magnetic field are investigated. During the early stages of the interaction (less than twice the time taken for the transmitted shock to cross the interior of the cloud) the structure and dynamics of the shocked cloud is fairly insensitive to the magnetic field strength and orientation. However, at late times strong fields substantially alter the dynamics of the cloud, suppressing fragmentation and mixing by stabilizing the interface at the cloud surface. Even weak magnetic fields can drastically alter the evolution of the cloud compared to the hydrodynamic case. Weak fields of different geometries result in different distributions and amplifications of the magnetic energy density, which may affect the thermal and non-thermal x-ray emission expected from shocked clouds associated with, for example, supernovae remnants.
