Ia型超新星引力约束爆轰模型中爆轰的起始

Initiation of the detonation in the gravitationally confined detonation model of Type Ia supernovae

摘要:

本文研究了Ia型超新星的引力约束爆轰(GCD)模型中爆轰的起始过程。爆震的引发自发地发生在从流(其中已经发生碳燃烧)延伸到未燃烧燃料中的温度梯度的长度尺度与从解析爆震的引发的1D模拟导出的临界长度尺度的范围相称的区域中。通过增加最大分辨率在一个截头圆锥,包括这个区域,开始有点引爆发生之前,我们成功地模拟原位的第一个梯度引发的爆炸在一个全明星模拟。当压缩波越过位于向内燃烧的碳射流前缘的开尔文-亥姆霍兹尖点处的燃料袋时,爆震出现。压缩波预先调节燃料中的温度,使得Zel'dovich梯度机构可以操作并且爆震增强。我们探索的依赖性的温度梯度的长度尺度上的空间分辨率,并讨论了这种爆炸机制的鲁棒性的影响。我们发现,时间和位置的起爆发生的分辨率不同。特别是,由于所需的计算需求,在我们结束模拟时,在我们的最高分辨率模拟中尚未发生爆震。我们认为,湍流剪切层周围的向内指向的射流提供了最有利的物理条件,因此,最有可能的位置,在GCD模型中的爆轰开始。

英文摘要:

We study the initiation of the detonation in the gravitationally confined detonation (GCD) model of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). Initiation of the detonation occurs spontaneously in a region where the length scale of the temperature gradient extending from a flow (in which carbon burning is already occurring) into unburned fuel is commensurate to the range of critical length scales which have been derived from 1D simulations that resolve the initiation of a detonation. By increasing the maximum resolution in a truncated cone that encompasses this region, beginning somewhat before initiation of the detonation occurs, we successfully simulate in situ the first gradient-initiated detonation in a whole-star simulation. The detonation emerges when a compression wave overruns a pocket of fuel situated in a Kelvin-Helmholtz cusp at the leading edge of the inwardly directed jet of burning carbon. The compression wave pre-conditions the temperature in the fuel in such a way that the Zel'dovich gradient mechanism can operate and a detonation ensues. We explore the dependence of the length scale of the temperature gradient on spatial resolution and discuss the implications for the robustness of this detonation mechanism. We find that the time and the location at which initiation of the detonation occurs varies with resolution. In particular, initiation of a detonation had not yet occurred in our highest resolution simulation by the time we ended the simulation because of the computational demand it required. We suggest that the turbulent shear layer surrounding the inwardly directed jet provides the most favorable physical conditions, and therefore the most likely location, for initiation of a detonation in the GCD model.
