Mark C. M. Cheung, Robert H. Cameron

摘要:

我们调查的重要性,双极扩散和霍尔电流高分辨率全面(“现实”)光球模拟。为此,我们扩展了辐射磁流体动力学代码\emph{MURaM}使用广义欧姆定律的假设下,当地的热力学平衡。我们目前的测试案例比较分析的解决方案与数值模拟验证的代码。此外,我们进行了一些数值实验,以调查这些中性离子在光球效应的影响。我们发现,在目前使用的空间分辨率(5-20公里每个网格点),霍尔电流和双极扩散开始变得显着-100米/秒的太阳黑子光桥的流量,和几个百分点的变化,在热力学结构的安静太阳磁功能。随着模拟解决了较小规模的变化,预计影响的程度将迅速增加。

英文摘要:

We investigate the importance of ambipolar diffusion and Hall currents for high-resolution comprehensive ('realistic') photospheric simulations. To do so we extended the radiative magnetohydrodynamics code \emph{MURaM} to use the generalized Ohm's law under the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium. We present test cases comparing analytical solutions with numerical simulations for validation of the code. Furthermore, we carried out a number of numerical experiments to investigate the impact of these neutral-ion effects in the photosphere. We find that, at the spatial resolutions currently used (5-20 km per grid point), the Hall currents and ambipolar diffusion begin to become significant -- with flows of 100 m/s in sunspot light bridges, and changes of a few percent in the thermodynamic structure of quiet-Sun magnetic features. The magnitude of the effects is expected to increase rapidly as smaller-scale variations are resolved by the simulations.
