摘要:

Ia型超新星(SN Ia)涉及的时间和长度尺度范围很大,需要使用火焰模型。作为探索火焰模型的各种选择的前奏,我们认为,在本文中,高分辨率的三维模拟的小尺度动力学的核火焰在超新星环境中的火焰结构的细节得到充分解决。密度的范围内检查,1至$8 \times 10^7$ g cm $^{-3}$,跨越从层流小火焰制度的分布燃烧制度,其中小尺度湍流破坏火焰的过渡。低马赫数算法的使用有利于火焰和无粘湍流动能叶栅的热结构的准确分辨率,同时隐含地将动能耗散在网格尺度截止。对于一个假设的各向同性Kolmogorov湍流与SN Ia的能量特性的背景下,我们发现1和$3 \times 10^7$ g cm $^{-3}$之间的过渡密度燃烧的性质发生了质的变化。通过$1 \times 10^7$ g cm $^{-3}$,通过传导和辐射的能量扩散在火焰尺度上被湍流平流超过。因此,有效刘易斯数接近1。也就是说,火焰类似于层流火焰,但由于有效扩散系数$D_T \sim u' l$而急剧变宽,其中$u'$是湍流强度,$l$是积分尺度。对于一个真正的超新星特征的较大的积分尺度,火焰结构预测变得复杂和不稳定。一个可能的过渡到爆炸的影响进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

The large range of time and length scales involved in type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) requires the use of flame models. As a prelude to exploring various options for flame models, we consider, in this paper, high-resolution three-dimensional simulations of the small-scale dynamics of nuclear flames in the supernova environment in which the details of the flame structure are fully resolved. The range of densities examined, 1 to $8 \times 10^7$ g cm$^{-3}$, spans the transition from the laminar flamelet regime to the distributed burning regime where small scale turbulence disrupts the flame. The use of a low Mach number algorithm facilitates the accurate resolution of the thermal structure of the flame and the inviscid turbulent kinetic energy cascade, while implicitly incorporating kinetic energy dissipation at the grid-scale cutoff. For an assumed background of isotropic Kolmogorov turbulence with an energy characteristic of SN Ia, we find a transition density between 1 and $3 \times 10^7$ g cm$^{-3}$ where the nature of the burning changes qualitatively. By $1 \times 10^7$ g cm$^{-3}$, energy diffusion by conduction and radiation is exceeded, on the flame scale, by turbulent advection. As a result, the effective Lewis Number approaches unity. That is, the flame resembles a laminar flame, but is turbulently broadened with an effective diffusion coefficient, $D_T \sim u' l$, where $u'$ is the turbulent intensity and $l$ is the integral scale. For the larger integral scales characteristic of a real supernova, the flame structure is predicted to become complex and unsteady. Implications for a possible transition to detonation are discussed.
