摘要:

内容:恒星对流和光球的数值模拟已经发展到可以解释观测到的谱线的详细形状的程度。恒星的大气层非常复杂,对流层、光球层、色球层、过渡区和日冕都有非常不同的物理机制。为了了解大气层的细节,有必要模拟整个大气层,因为不同的层之间存在强烈的相互作用。这些物理机制是非常不同的,它需要一个高效的大规模并行数值代码来解决相关的方程。目的:设计、实现和验证大规模并行数值程序Bifrost,用于模拟从对流区到日冕的恒星大气。研究方法:该代码进行了一些验证测试,其中包括Sod激波管测试,Orzag-Tang碰撞激波测试,边界条件测试以及代码如何处理磁场平流,色球辐射,等温散射大气中的辐射转移,氢电离和热传导的测试。结果:Bifrost以良好的结果完成了测试,并显示出接近线性的效率扩展到数千个计算核心。

英文摘要:

Context: Numerical simulations of stellar convection and photospheres have been developed to the point where detailed shapes of observed spectral lines can be explained. Stellar atmospheres are very complex, and very different physical regimes are present in the convection zone, photosphere, chromosphere, transition region and corona. To understand the details of the atmosphere it is necessary to simulate the whole atmosphere since the different layers interact strongly. These physical regimes are very diverse and it takes a highly efficient massively parallel numerical code to solve the associated equations. Aims: The design, implementation and validation of the massively parallel numerical code Bifrost for simulating stellar atmospheres from the convection zone to the corona. Methods: The code is subjected to a number of validation tests, among them the Sod shock tube test, the Orzag-Tang colliding shock test, boundary condition tests and tests of how the code treats magnetic field advection, chromospheric radiation, radiative transfer in an isothermal scattering atmosphere, hydrogen ionization and thermal conduction. Results: Bifrost completes the tests with good results and shows near linear efficiency scaling to thousands of computing cores.
