摘要:

研究了初始条件对磁化气体云坍缩过程中磁场放大的影响。我们专注于依赖的增长和饱和度的发电机产生的领域的湍流性质的崩溃云。特别是,我们探讨了不同的初始强度和注入规模的湍流和崩溃的磁化云的初始均匀旋转的效果。为了跟踪磁场在运动学和非线性机制中的演化,我们选择具有磁动能比$E_{\rm m}/E_{\rm k} \sim 10^{-4}$的初始场强$\simeq 1\,\mkG$。引力压缩和小尺度发电机最初都放大了磁场。进一步进入演化,发电机产生的磁场饱和,但总磁场由于压缩而继续增长。小尺度发电机的饱和是由$B/ρ^{2/3}$的斜率变化和磁能谱的峰值从小尺度向大尺度的移动来标记的。对于本研究中探索的初始马赫数范围,发电机增长率随着马赫数从$v_{\rm rms}/c_{\rm s}\sim 0.2$增加到0.4而增加,然后从$v_{\rm rms}/c_{\rm s}\sim 1.0$开始减小。我们获得这些运行的$E_{\rm m}/E_{\rm k} = 0.2 - 0.3$饱和值。不同初始注入湍流尺度的模拟也显示了相似水平的饱和度。对于不同的云的初始旋转的运行,磁能饱和在$E_{\rm m}/E_{\rm k}\sim 0.2 - 0.4$的均分值。(节录)

英文摘要:

We study the influence of initial conditions on the magnetic field amplification during the collapse of a magnetised gas cloud. We focus on the dependence of the growth and saturation level of the dynamo generated field on the turbulent properties of the collapsing cloud. In particular, we explore the effect of varying the initial strength and injection scale of turbulence and the initial uniform rotation of the collapsing magnetised cloud. In order to follow the evolution of the magnetic field in both the kinematic and the nonlinear regime, we choose an initial field strength of $\simeq 1\,\mkG$ with the magnetic to kinetic energy ratio, $E_{\rm m}/E_{\rm k} \sim 10^{-4}$. Both gravitational compression and the small-scale dynamo initially amplify the magnetic field. Further into the evolution, the dynamo-generated magnetic field saturates but the total magnetic field continues to grow because of compression. The saturation of the small-scale dynamo is marked by a change in the slope of $B/ρ^{2/3}$ and by a shift in the peak of the magnetic energy spectrum from small scales to larger scales. For the range of initial Mach numbers explored in this study, the dynamo growth rate increases as the Mach number increases from $v_{\rm rms}/c_{\rm s}\sim 0.2$ to 0.4 and then starts decreasing from $v_{\rm rms}/c_{\rm s}\sim 1.0$. We obtain saturation values of $E_{\rm m}/E_{\rm k} = 0.2 - 0.3$ for these runs. Simulations with different initial injection scales of turbulence also show saturation at similar levels. For runs with different initial rotation of the cloud, the magnetic energy saturates at $E_{\rm m}/E_{\rm k}\sim 0.2 - 0.4$ of the equipartition value. (Abridged)
