三维行星-盘相互作用:浮力波的重要性

Planet-Disk interaction in 3D: the importance of buoyancy waves

Zhaohuan Zhu, James M. Stone, Roman R. Rafikov

摘要:

我们进行了局部三维(3D)流体动力学模拟的行星盘相互作用的分层盘具有不同的热力学性质。我们发现,每当在磁盘的Brunt-Vaisala频率(N)是非零的,行星施加一个强大的扭矩在磁盘上的行星附近,在传统的“扭矩截止”减少。特别是,这是真实的绝热扰动与等温密度结构的磁盘,应该是典型的中心照射的原行星盘。我们确定这个力矩与浮力波,这是激发(当N是非零)接近行星,在一个磁盘尺度的高度从它的轨道。这些波引起的密度扰动与特征的三维空间模式,这是在密切的协议与线性色散关系的浮力波。由于这些波的扭矩可以高达百分之几十的总行星扭矩,这是不预期的基础上的分析计算限于轴对称或低m模式。在行星周围,在原行星盘的内部密集区域,浮力波应该是无处不在的,在那里它们可能会影响行星的迁移。

英文摘要:

We carry out local three dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic simulations of planet-disk interaction in stratified disks with varied thermodynamic properties. We find that whenever the Brunt-Vaisala frequency (N) in the disk is nonzero, the planet exerts a strong torque on the disk in the vicinity of the planet, with a reduction in the traditional "torque cutoff". In particular, this is true for adiabatic perturbations in disks with isothermal density structure, as should be typical for centrally irradiated protoplanetary disks. We identify this torque with buoyancy waves, which are excited (when N is non-zero) close to the planet, within one disk scale height from its orbit. These waves give rise to density perturbations with a characteristic 3D spatial pattern which is in close agreement with the linear dispersion relation for buoyancy waves. The torque due to these waves can amount to as much as several tens of per cent of the total planetary torque, which is not expected based on analytical calculations limited to axisymmetric or low-m modes. Buoyancy waves should be ubiquitous around planets in the inner, dense regions of protoplanetary disks, where they might possibly affect planet migration.
