螺线管与压缩turbulence作用力

Solenoidal versus compressive turbulence forcing

C. Federrath, J. Duval, R. S. Klessen, W. Schmidt, M. -M. Mac Low

摘要:

我们分析了在高分辨率强迫超声速湍流数值实验中获得的统计数据和恒星形成率,并与观测结果进行了比较。我们集中在螺线管(发散自由)和压缩(卷曲自由)强迫,这是湍流驱动的两个限制情况下的系统比较。我们的结果表明,对于相同的RMS马赫数,压缩强迫产生的密度概率分布的三倍大的标准偏差。当模型中包括自引力时,压缩强迫的恒星形成率比螺线管强迫高出一个数量级以上。

英文摘要:

We analyze the statistics and star formation rate obtained in high-resolution numerical experiments of forced supersonic turbulence, and compare with observations. We concentrate on a systematic comparison of solenoidal (divergence-free) and compressive (curl-free) forcing, which are two limiting cases of turbulence driving. Our results show that for the same RMS Mach number, compressive forcing produces a three times larger standard deviation of the density probability distribution. When self-gravity is included in the models, the star formation rate is more than one order of magnitude higher for compressive forcing than for solenoidal forcing.
