摘要:

受太阳发电机界面模型的启发,本文探讨了对流和剪切驱动不稳定性之间复杂的磁流体动力学相互作用。首先,我们考虑在垂直磁场存在下,强迫剪切流穿过对流稳定多变层的动力学。当所施加的磁场较弱时,动力学由剪切流(Kelvin-Helmholtz型)不稳定性主导。对于较强的磁场,磁浮力不稳定性是首选。如果这个稳定的剪切层位于对流不稳定区域之下,这两个区域可以相互作用。同样,当施加的磁场非常弱时,磁场的动力学效应可以忽略不计,剪切层和对流层之间的相互作用相对较小。然而,如果磁场足够强,有利于剪切层中的磁浮力不稳定性,则形成扩展的磁通量浓度并上升到对流层中。这些磁结构对上层的对流运动有很强的破坏作用。

英文摘要:

Motivated by the interface model for the solar dynamo, this paper explores the complex magnetohydrodynamic interactions between convective flows and shear-driven instabilities. Initially, we consider the dynamics of a forced shear flow across a convectively-stable polytropic layer, in the presence of a vertical magnetic field. When the imposed magnetic field is weak, the dynamics are dominated by a shear flow (Kelvin-Helmholtz type) instability. For stronger fields, a magnetic buoyancy instability is preferred. If this stably stratified shear layer lies below a convectively unstable region, these two regions can interact. Once again, when the imposed field is very weak, the dynamical effects of the magnetic field are negligible and the interactions between the shear layer and the convective layer are relatively minor. However, if the magnetic field is strong enough to favour magnetic buoyancy instabilities in the shear layer, extended magnetic flux concentrations form and rise into the convective layer. These magnetic structures have a highly disruptive effect upon the convective motions in the upper layer.
