吸积盘中本地和全局Turbulence之间的连接

Connections Between Local and Global Turbulence in Accretion Disks

Kareem A. Sorathia, Christopher S. Reynolds, Philip J. Armitage

摘要:

我们分析了一套全球磁流体动力学(MHD)的吸积盘模拟,以确定是否通过本地剪切盒研究发现,由磁旋转不稳定性驱动的湍流的标度律,是全球性的强大。模拟模型的几何薄磁盘与零净磁通量和没有明确的电阻率或粘度。我们发现,当地的麦克斯韦应力与自生的本地垂直磁场的方式是类似于在当地的模拟。此外,垂直场的局部补丁足够强大,可以刺激和控制大部分圆盘的角动量传输强度。我们证明了磁联系(通过低密度日冕)在确定当地的领域不同地区之间的磁盘的重要性,并提出了一个新的收敛要求全球模拟-日冕的垂直范围必须完全捕获和解决。最后,我们研究的平均应力的时间收敛,并表明,在当地的磁通量-应力关系的初始长期漂移消失的时间尺度上,是一致的初始磁场的湍流混合。

英文摘要:

We analyze a suite of global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) accretion disk simulations in order to determine whether scaling laws for turbulence driven by the magnetorotational instability, discovered via local shearing box studies, are globally robust. The simulations model geometrically-thin disks with zero net magnetic flux and no explicit resistivity or viscosity. We show that the local Maxwell stress is correlated with the self-generated local vertical magnetic field in a manner that is similar to that found in local simulations. Moreover, local patches of vertical field are strong enough to stimulate and control the strength of angular momentum transport across much of the disk. We demonstrate the importance of magnetic linkages (through the low-density corona) between different regions of the disk in determining the local field, and suggest a new convergence requirement for global simulations -- the vertical extent of the corona must be fully captured and resolved. Finally, we examine the temporal convergence of the average stress, and show that an initial long-term secular drift in the local flux-stress relation dies away on a time scale that is consistent with turbulent mixing of the initial magnetic field.
