滞弹性对流湍流耗散效率的直接计算

Direct Calculation of the Turbulent Dissipation Efficiency in Anelastic Convection

Kaloyan Penev, Joseph Barranco, Dimitar Sasselov

摘要:

目前对恒星对流区湍流耗散的理解是基于湍流遵循Kolmogorov标度的假设。该假设对于外部剪切的时间频率高的某些情况是有效的(例如,太阳P模式)。然而,对于许多天体物理学感兴趣的情况(例如,双星轨道、恒星脉动等),感兴趣的时间尺度在柯尔莫哥洛夫定标的适用范围之外。我们提出了直接计算的耗散效率的湍流对流在这个政权,使用模拟的非弹性对流与外部强迫。我们表明,湍流的影响是很好地表示由一个有效的粘性系数,我们提供的值作为扰动频率的函数的有效粘度和比较我们的结果的微扰方法找到有效粘度的Penev等人。可以应用于实际模拟的表面对流区的恒星。

英文摘要:

The current understanding of the turbulent dissipation in stellar convective zones is based on the assumption that the turbulence follows Kolmogorov scaling. This assumption is valid for some cases in which the time frequency of the external shear is high (e.g., solar p modes). However, for many cases of astrophysical interest (e.g., binary orbits, stellar pulsations, etc.), the timescales of interest lie outside the regime of applicability of Kolmogorov scaling. We present direct calculations of the dissipation efficiency of the turbulent convective flow in this regime, using simulations of anelastic convection with external forcing. We show that the effects of the turbulent flow are well represented by an effective viscosity coefficient, we provide the values of the effective viscosity as a function of the perturbation frequency and compare our results to the perturbative method for finding the effective viscosity of Penev et al. that can be applied to actual simulations of the surface convective zones of stars.
