摘要:

本文综述了滞弹性球谐程序(ASH)在模拟全球尺度对流和发电机过程方面的最新进展。特别是,我们最近实现了第一个全球尺度的太阳对流模拟,表现出湍流泵的磁通量到一个模拟速跃层和随后的组织和放大的旋转剪切的环向场结构。速跃层的存在不仅促进了平均环向通量的产生,而且还增强和稳定了整个对流区的平均极向场,促进了偶极结构,极性反转频率较低。由具有速跃层和过冲区域的对流发电机产生的磁场总体上也是螺旋形的,在南北半球的符号相反。环形速斜场几乎没有表现出磁浮力不稳定性,但可能正在经历磁剪切不稳定性。

英文摘要:

We review recent advances in modeling global-scale convection and dynamo processes with the Anelastic Spherical Harmonic (ASH) code. In particular, we have recently achieved the first global-scale solar convection simulations that exhibit turbulent pumping of magnetic flux into a simulated tachocline and the subsequent organization and amplification of toroidal field structures by rotational shear. The presence of a tachocline not only promotes the generation of mean toroidal flux, but it also enhances and stabilizes the mean poloidal field throughout the convection zone, promoting dipolar structure with less frequent polarity reversals. The magnetic field generated by a convective dynamo with a tachocline and overshoot region is also more helical overall, with a sign reversal in the northern and southern hemispheres. Toroidal tachocline fields exhibit little indication of magnetic buoyancy instabilities but may be undergoing magneto-shear instabilities.
