Rayleigh极限和准Kepler旋转下Taylor-Couette流的螺旋磁旋转不稳定性

Helical magnetorotational instability of Taylor-Couette flows in the Rayleigh limit and for quasi-Kepler rotation

Guenther Ruediger, Manfred Schultz

摘要:

考虑了无电流磁场轴向分量和方位分量同时存在时的磁旋转不稳定性。对于具有均匀比角动量的旋转,轴对称扰动的MHD方程在局部短波近似下求解。所有解对B_z \cdot B_z \neq 0都是超稳定的,其固有频率接近粘性频率.对于更平坦的旋转定律,局部近似的结果不符合旋转圆柱之间Taylor-Couette流动的MHD不稳定性的整体计算结果。当B_phi和B_z为同阶时,对于平直转动律,如准Kepler转动,也倾向于行波解。对于磁普朗特数Pm \to 0,它们与旋转雷诺数成比例,而不是与磁雷诺数成比例(如标准MRI),因此它们可以很容易地在MHD实验室实验中实现。对于非轴对称模态,发现B_z/B_z之比仅对极值有显著影响。当B_z>> B_z时,当Pm不太小时,非轴对称模占主导地位。然而,对于B_z >> B_z的标准MRI,非轴对称模态的临界雷诺数比轴对称模态的临界雷诺数高出许多阶,因此它们决不是优先的。

英文摘要:

The magnetorotational instability (MRI) of differential rotation under the simultaneous presence of axial and azimuthal components of the (current-free) magnetic field is considered. For rotation with uniform specific angular momentum the MHD equations for axisymmetric perturbations are solved in a local short-wave approximation. All the solutions are overstable for B_z \cdot B_ϕ\neq 0 with eigenfrequencies approaching the viscous frequency. For more flat rotation laws the results of the local approximation do not comply with the results of a global calculation of the MHD instability of Taylor-Couette flows between rotating cylinders. -- With B_phi and B_z of the same order the traveling-mode solutions are also prefered for flat rotation laws such as the quasi-Kepler rotation. For magnetic Prandtl number Pm\to 0 they scale with the Reynolds number of rotation rather than with the magnetic Reynolds number (as for standard MRI) so that they can easily be realized in MHD laboratory experiments. -- Regarding the nonaxisymmetric modes one finds a remarkable influence of the ratio B_ϕ/B_z only for the extrema. For B_ϕ>> B_z and for not too small Pm the nonaxisymmetric modes dominate the traveling axisymmetric modes. For standard MRI with B_z >> B_ϕ, however, the critical Reynolds numbers of the nonaxisymmetric modes exceed the values for the axisymmetric modes by many orders so that they are never prefered.
