磁通涌现过程中对流与磁场的动力学耦合

Dynamic Coupling of Convective Flows and Magnetic Field during Flux Emergence

Fang Fang, Ward Manchester, William P. Abbett, Bart van der Holst

摘要:

为了更好地理解太阳内部与日冕的能量耦合,我们模拟了磁通量绳从太阳对流区到日冕的浮力上升。磁流体动力学模型解决了辐射冷却,日冕加热和电离的物理问题,使我们能够产生一个更真实的太阳大气模型。模拟显示了磁通量在光球层出现并合并形成两个极性相反的大浓度的过程。我们发现,在对流区的大尺度对流运动是至关重要的形成和维持太阳黑子,而在近地层的水平会聚流阻止集中的极性分离。太阳黑子在对流区的足点表现出一致的旋转运动,导致日冕场螺旋度的增加。在这里,对流的局部结构导致相反极性的磁通量与沿极性反转线的剪切流会聚。在磁绳上升过程中,磁能首先通过光球层的出露注入,然后通过水平流输送能量,最后被淹没流潜回对流区。

英文摘要:

We simulate the buoyant rise of a magnetic flux rope from the solar convection zone into the corona to better understand the energetic coupling of the solar interior to the corona. The magnetohydrodynamic model addresses the physics of radiative cooling, coronal heating and ionization, which allow us to produce a more realistic model of the solar atmosphere. The simulation illustrates the process by which magnetic flux emerges at the photosphere and coalesces to form two large concentrations of opposite polarities. We find that the large-scale convective motion in the convection zone is critical to form and maintain sunspots, while the horizontal converging flows in the near surface layer prevent the concentrated polarities from separating. The foot points of the sunspots in the convection zone exhibit a coherent rotation motion, resulting in the increasing helicity of the coronal field. Here, the local configuration of the convection causes the convergence of opposite polarities of magnetic flux with a shearing flow along the polarity inversion line. During the rising of the flux rope, the magnetic energy is first injected through the photosphere by the emergence, followed by energy transport by horizontal flows, after which the energy is subducted back to the convection zone by the submerging flows.
