膨胀壳的破碎Ⅰ:薄壳近似的局限性

The fragmentation of expanding shells I: Limitations of the thin--shell approximation

James E. Dale, Richard Wunsch, Anthony Whitworth, Jan Palous

摘要:

本文在线性薄壳分析的范围内研究膨胀壳的引力破碎。我们利用两个非常不同的数值方案,FLASH自适应网格细化代码和奔驰光滑粒子流体动力学代码的一个版本。我们发现,这两个代码之间的协议是极好的。我们用我们的数值结果来测试薄壳近似,我们发现,施加到壳的外部压力有很强的破碎过程的影响。在壳体不受压力限制的情况下,壳体在膨胀时会膨胀,垂直于壳体平面的流体动力学流动会抑制短波长下的碎裂。如果壳是压力-限制内部和外部,使他们的厚度保持近似恒定在他们的扩张,与解析解的协议是更好的。

英文摘要:

We investigate the gravitational fragmentation of expanding shells in the context of the linear thin--shell analysis. We make use of two very different numerical schemes; the FLASH Adaptive Mesh Refinement code and a version of the Benz Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics code. We find that the agreement between the two codes is excellent. We use our numerical results to test the thin--shell approximation and we find that the external pressure applied to the shell has a strong effect on the fragmentation process. In cases where shells are not pressure--confined, the shells thicken as they expand and hydrodynamic flows perpendicular to the plane of the shell suppress fragmentation at short wavelengths. If the shells are pressure--confined internally and externally, so that their thickness remains approximately constant during their expansion, the agreement with the analytical solution is better.
