聚合物流体库埃特-泰勒流中天体物理磁旋转不稳定性的模拟

Analog of Astrophysical Magnetorotational Instability in a Couette-Taylor Flow of Polymer Fluids

Stanislav Boldyrev, Don Huynh, Vladimir Pariev

摘要:

我们报告的实验观察的不稳定性的Couette-Taylor流的聚合物流体在两个同轴旋转的圆柱体之间的薄间隙中的制度,其角速度随半径减小,而特定的角动量随半径增加。在所考虑的制度,既不是惯性瑞利不稳定,也不是纯粹的弹性不稳定是可能的。我们建议,所观察到的“弹性旋转”不稳定性是一个模拟的磁旋转不稳定性,在天体物理开普勒吸积盘中起着重要作用。

英文摘要:

We report experimental observation of an instability in a Couette-Taylor flow of a polymer fluid in a thin gap between two coaxially rotating cylinders in a regime where their angular velocity decreases with the radius while the specific angular momentum increases with the radius. In the considered regime, neither the inertial Rayleigh instability nor the purely elastic instability are possible. We propose that the observed "elasto-rotational" instability is an analog of the magnetorotational instability which plays a fundamental role in astrophysical Keplerian accretion disks.
