摘要:

我们提出了弱磁化超声速湍流的大尺度三维模拟结果,网格分辨率高达1024^3个单元。我们的数值实验是在局部条件下用分段抛物方法进行的,并假设了一个等温状态方程。湍流是由一个大规模的各向同性螺线管力在一个周期性的计算域和充分发展,在几个流动交叉时间。然后,我们发展的流量为一些流量交叉的时间和分析各种统计特性的饱和湍流状态。我们发现,在惯性范围内的尺度的能量传递率是令人惊讶的接近一个常数,表明柯尔莫哥洛夫的不可压缩湍流现象可以扩展到磁化超音速流。我们还讨论了网格分辨率从256^3细化到1024^3时不同湍流诊断的数值耗散效应和收敛性。

英文摘要:

We present results of large-scale three-dimensional simulations of weakly magnetized supersonic turbulence at grid resolutions up to 1024^3 cells. Our numerical experiments are carried out with the Piecewise Parabolic Method on a Local Stencil and assume an isothermal equation of state. The turbulence is driven by a large-scale isotropic solenoidal force in a periodic computational domain and fully develops in a few flow crossing times. We then evolve the flow for a number of flow crossing times and analyze various statistical properties of the saturated turbulent state. We show that the energy transfer rate in the inertial range of scales is surprisingly close to a constant, indicating that Kolmogorov's phenomenology for incompressible turbulence can be extended to magnetized supersonic flows. We also discuss numerical dissipation effects and convergence of different turbulence diagnostics as grid resolution refines from 256^3 to 1024^3 cells.
