摘要:

我们提出了多维模拟的早期对流阶段点火前的I型X射线爆发使用低马赫数流体动力学代码,MAESTRO。低马赫数方法是必要的,以便进行研究这种现象所需的长时间积分。使用MAESTRO,我们能够捕获由于大规模加热引起的大气膨胀,同时捕获由于反应和热扩散引起的局部压缩性效应。我们还讨论了一维初始模型的准备和随后的映射到我们的多维框架。我们的初始模型生成方法不同于以前的多维研究中使用的方法,该方法在映射到多维网格之前通过一维中的多个突发来演化系统。在我们的多维模拟中,我们发现,正确解决燃烧层所需的分辨率比上述早期研究中使用的分辨率大一个数量级。我们的特征的对流模式,形成和讨论其产生的影响对流区域的状态,这是很重要的建模的爆发本身。

英文摘要:

We present multidimensional simulations of the early convective phase preceding ignition in a Type I X-ray burst using the low Mach number hydrodynamics code, MAESTRO. A low Mach number approach is necessary in order to perform long-time integration required to study such phenomena. Using MAESTRO, we are able to capture the expansion of the atmosphere due to large-scale heating while capturing local compressibility effects such as those due to reactions and thermal diffusion. We also discuss the preparation of one-dimensional initial models and the subsequent mapping into our multidimensional framework. Our method of initial model generation differs from that used in previous multidimensional studies, which evolved a system through multiple bursts in one dimension before mapping onto a multidimensional grid. In our multidimensional simulations, we find that the resolution necessary to properly resolve the burning layer is an order of magnitude greater than that used in the earlier studies mentioned above. We characterize the convective patterns that form and discuss their resulting influence on the state of the convective region, which is important in modeling the outburst itself.
