摘要:

我们调查的放松编织磁回路,以找出如何通过足点运动的编织类型影响所得的加热的循环。两个磁回路,以不同的方式编织,被用来作为初始条件的电阻MHD模拟和其随后的演变进行了研究。场都经历电阻弛豫,其中电流片形成和碎片,并且系统朝向较低能量的状态演化。在一种情况下,这种松弛是非常有效的,电流片填充体积和均匀加热的环路发生。在另一种情况下,较少的电流片发展,较少的磁能被释放的过程中,一个不完整的加热环的结果。这两种情况虽然在设置上非常相似,但可以通过光球驱动器的混合特性来区分。混合可以通过等离子体流的拓扑熵来测量,这是一个可观察的量。

英文摘要:

We investigate the relaxation of braided magnetic loops in order to find out how the type of braiding via footpoint motions affects resultant heating of the loop. Two magnetic loops, braided in different ways, are used as initial conditions in resistive MHD simulations and their subsequent evolution is studied. The fields both undergo a resistive relaxation in which current sheets form and fragment and the system evolves towards a state of lower energy. In one case this relaxation is very efficient with current sheets filling the volume and homogeneous heating of the loop occurring. In the other case fewer current sheets develop, less magnetic energy is released in the process and a patchy heating of the loop results. The two cases, although very similar in their setup, can be distinguished by the mixing properties of the photospheric driver. The mixing can be measured by the topological entropy of the plasma flow, an observable quantity.
