摘要:

本文通过对细长流管的MHD理想方程的积分,模拟了日冕耀斑后环的内部等离子体动力学。我们研究了内部等离子体不稳定性的发生和演变,与观测结果进行比较,并深入了解与耀斑事件相关的物理过程和特征参数。数值方法采用有限体积Harten-Yee TVD格式积分一维1/2 MHD方程,该方程是专门为捕捉超音速流动间断而设计的。我们可以再现2001年10月1日发生的一个事件的观测滑动和沿磁线向上传播的增亮特征。我们表明,高速下行扰动,通常被解释为慢磁声波,可以更好地解释为慢磁声冲击波。该结果是在能量平衡方程中考虑绝热性而得到的。然而,一个依赖于时间的强迫的基础是需要重现的事件,类似于观测模式的重复-通常被称为准周期脉动(QPPs)-这是与大规模的特征相干性的波动。这一结果加强了对QPP是对脉动耀斑活动的响应的解释。

英文摘要:

We integrate the MHD ideal equations of a slender flux tube to simulate the internal plasma dynamics of coronal post-flare loops. We study the onset and evolution of the internal plasma instability to compare with observations and to gain insight into physical processes and characteristic parameters associated with flaring events. The numerical approach uses a finite-volume Harten-Yee TVD scheme to integrate the 1D1/2 MHD equations specially designed to capture supersonic flow discontinuities. We could reproduce the observational sliding down and upwardly propagating of brightening features along magnetic threads of an event occurred on October 1st, 2001. We show that high--speed downflow perturbations, usually interpreted as slow magnetoacoustic waves, could be better interpreted as slow magnetoacoustic shock waves. This result was obtained considering adiabaticity in the energy balance equation. However, a time--dependent forcing from the basis is needed to reproduce the reiteration of the event which resembles observational patterns -commonly known as quasi--periodic pulsations (QPPs)- which are related with large scale characteristic longitudes of coherence. This result reinforces the interpretation that the QPPs are a response to the pulsational flaring activity.
