关于磁通量管中扭结MHD波的性质

On the nature of kink MHD waves in magnetic flux tubes

M. Goossens, J. Terradas, J. Andries, I. Arregui, J. L. Ballester

摘要:

磁流体动力学(MHD)波在太阳大气中经常被报道,通常被分为慢波、快波或阿尔文波。这些波具有混合性质的可能性常常被忽略。本工作的目的是研究和确定磁流体扭结波的性质。这是通过计算频率,阻尼率和本征函数的MHD扭结波的三个广泛不同的MHD波的情况下:可压缩的无压等离子体,不可压缩等离子体和可压缩等离子体与非零等离子体压力,允许MHD辐射。在所有这三种情况下,频率和阻尼率实际上是相同的,因为它们最多相差与$(k_z R)^2$成比例的项。在磁通量管中,在所有三种情况下,扭结波都是不可压缩波,具有可忽略的压力扰动和主要的水平运动。磁张力是磁通管中扭折波的主要回复力。总压力梯度力不能忽略,除非扭折波的频率与局部阿尔文频率相等或略有不同,即在共振层中。扭结波是非常强大的,不关心的细节MHD波环境。形容词“快”不是形容“波浪”的正确形容词。如果要使用形容词,应该是Alfvénic。然而,最好认识到扭结波具有混合性质,不能放在一个单独的盒子里。

英文摘要:

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves are often reported in the solar atmosphere and usually classified as slow, fast, or Alfvén. The possibility that these waves have mixed properties is often ignored. The goal of this work is to study and determine the nature of MHD kink waves. This is done by calculating the frequency, the damping rate and the eigenfunctions of MHD kink waves for three widely different MHD waves cases: a compressible pressure-less plasma, an incompressible plasma and a compressible plasma with non-zero plasma pressure which allows for MHD radiation. In all three cases the frequency and the damping rate are for practical purposes the same as they differ at most by terms proportional to $(k_z R)^2$. In the magnetic flux tube the kink waves are in all three cases, to a high degree of accuracy incompressible waves with negligible pressure perturbations and with mainly horizontal motions. The main restoring force of kink waves in the magnetised flux tube is the magnetic tension force. The total pressure gradient force cannot be neglected except when the frequency of the kink wave is equal or slightly differs from the local Alfvén frequency, i.e. in the resonant layer. Kink waves are very robust and do not care about the details of the MHD wave environment. The adjective fast is not the correct adjective to characterise kink waves. If an adjective is to be used it should be Alfvénic. However, it is better to realize that kink waves have mixed properties and cannot be put in one single box.
