数值天体物理学中的辐射冷却:自适应网格细化的需要

Radiative cooling in numerical astrophysics: the need for adaptive mesh refinement

Allard Jan van Marle, Rony Keppens

摘要:

通过光学薄辐射冷却的能量损失在天体物理气体动力学的演化中起着重要的作用,因此应该被认为是任何数值模拟中的必要元素。虽然将这个物理过程添加到流体力学方程中是简单的,但它确实产生了必须克服的数值挑战,以确保模拟的物理正确性。首先,由于冷却时间尺度和模拟的典型时间步长之间的差异,必须(半)隐式地处理冷却。其次,由于它依赖于列表冷却曲线,辐射冷却的引入产生了插值方案的必要性。特别是,我们将认为,辐射冷却的数值模拟中添加创建需要极高的分辨率,这只能通过使用自适应网格细化完全满足。

英文摘要:

Energy loss through optically thin radiative cooling plays an important part in the evolution of astrophysical gas dynamics and should therefore be considered a necessary element in any numerical simulation. Although the addition of this physical process to the equations of hydrodynamics is straightforward, it does create numerical challenges that have to be overcome in order to ensure the physical correctness of the simulation. First, the cooling has to be treated (semi-)implicitly, owing to the discrepancies between the cooling timescale and the typical timesteps of the simulation. Secondly, because of its dependence on a tabulated cooling curve, the introduction of radiative cooling creates the necessity for an interpolation scheme. In particular, we will argue that the addition of radiative cooling to a numerical simulation creates the need for extremely high resolution, which can only be fully met through the use of adaptive mesh refinement.
