核心氦闪光重访:II。二维和三维水动力学模拟

The core helium flash revisited: II. Two and three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations

M. Mocak, E. Mueller, A. Weiss, K. Kifonidis

摘要:

我们通过比较二维和三维流体动力学模拟的结果,研究了核心氦闪接近峰值时的湍流对流。我们使用一个多维的欧拉流体动力学代码的基础上,国家的最先进的数值技术来模拟氦核心的$1.25 M_{\odot}$波普I星的演变。我们的三维流体动力学模拟的核心氦闪光的峰值期间的恒星的演化没有显示任何爆炸行为。在三维模型中发展的对流流型在结构上与相应的二维模型不同,并且典型的对流速度小于在二维模型中发现的对流速度。三维模型也倾向于更好地同意与混合长度理论的预测。我们的流体动力学模拟表明,湍流夹带的存在下,在动态时间尺度上的对流区的增长的结果。与混合长度理论相反,对流区的外部的特征在于亚绝热温度梯度。

英文摘要:

We study turbulent convection during the core helium flash close to its peak by comparing the results of two and three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations. We use a multidimensional Eulerian hydrodynamics code based on state-of-the-art numerical techniques to simulate the evolution of the helium core of a $1.25 M_{\odot}$ Pop I star. Our three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the evolution of a star during the peak of the core helium flash do not show any explosive behavior. The convective flow patterns developing in the three-dimensional models are structurally different from those of the corresponding two-dimensional models, and the typical convective velocities are smaller than those found in their two-dimensional counterparts. Three-dimensional models also tend to agree better with the predictions of mixing length theory. Our hydrodynamic simulations show the presence of turbulent entrainment that results in a growth of the convection zone on a dynamic time scale. Contrary to mixing length theory, the outer part of the convection zone is characterized by a sub-adiabatic temperature gradient.
