太阳对流区底部磁通量管扭曲的产生

Generation of twist on magnetic flux tubes at the base of the solar convection zone

H. Hotta, T. Yokoyama

摘要:

基于Choudhuri,2003,Sol.的理论,利用二维磁流体动力学计算,研究了位于太阳对流层底部的磁通量管的扭曲产生机制.物理、215、31,其中环形磁场被周围的平均极向场包裹。在产生扭曲的过程中,磁通管遵循四个阶段。(1)它迅速分裂成两部分,涡旋运动卷起极向磁场。(2)由于类似于磁旋转不稳定性的物理机制,卷起的极向场被弯曲和放大。(3)扰动极向磁场的磁张力使涡度减小,涡动引起的升力减小。(4)通量管被扭曲,并开始再次上升,而不分裂。这些过程的研究是有意义的,因为它表明,没有任何初始扭曲的磁通管可以上升到表面在相对较弱的极向场。

英文摘要:

Using two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics calculations, we investigate a twist gen- eration mechanism on a magnetic flux tube at the base of the solar convection zone based on the idea of Choudhuri, 2003, Sol. Phys., 215, 31 in which a toroidal mag- netic field is wrapped by a surrounding mean poloidal field. During generation of the twist, the flux tube follows four phases. (1) It quickly splits into two parts with vortex motions rolling up the poloidal magnetic field. (2) Owing to the physical mechanism similar to that of the magneto-rotational instability, the rolled-up poloidal field is bent and amplified. (3) The magnetic tension of the disturbed poloidal magnetic field re- duces the vorticity, and the lifting force caused by vortical motion decreases. (4) The flux tube gets twisted and begins to rise again without splitting. Investigation of these processes is significant because it shows that a flux tube without any initial twist can rise to the surface in relatively weak poloidal fields.
