The Sun's meridional circulation and interior magnetic field

摘要:

迄今为止,没有自洽的数值模拟的太阳内部已经成功地再现了观测到的薄的太阳速跃层,和持久的均匀旋转下it.Although它是已知的,均匀旋转可以解释的存在一个全球规模的限制磁场,数值模拟迄今未能产生任何解决方案,这样的字段仍然限制向外扩散。我们认为,问题在于这些数值模拟已经进行了参数的选择。我们构建了一个简单的分析磁流体动力学模型的太阳内部,并确定了几个不同的参数制度。对于现实的太阳参数值,我们的结果是广泛的协议与Gough & McIntyre的速跃层模型。在这种情况下,在对流区底部驱动的涡旋流具有足够的幅度来阻止内部磁场扩散。对于现有的数值模拟中使用的参数值,另一方面,我们发现,双曲流动显着较弱,我们认为,无法限制的内部字段。我们提出了一种方法来选择参数值在未来的数值模型。

英文摘要:

To date, no self-consistent numerical simulation of the solar interior has succeeded in reproducing the observed thinness of the solar tachocline, and the persistence of uniform rotation beneath it. Although it is known that the uniform rotation can be explained by the presence of a global-scale confined magnetic field, numerical simulations have thus far failed to produce any solution where such a field remains confined against outward diffusion. We argue that the problem lies in the choice of parameters for which these numerical simulations have been performed. We construct a simple analytical magneto-hydrodynamic model of the solar interior and identify several distinct parameter regimes. For realistic solar parameter values, our results are in broad agreement with the tachocline model of Gough & McIntyre. In this regime, meridional flows driven at the base of the convection zone are of sufficient amplitude to hold back the interior magnetic field against diffusion. For the parameter values used in existing numerical simulations, on the other hand, we find that meridional flows are significantly weaker and, we argue, unable to confine the interior field. We propose a method for selecting parameter values in future numerical models.
