摘要:

我们进行全球非分层的三维磁流体动力学模拟的天体物理边界层(BL)-之间的界面区域的吸积盘和弱磁化吸积物体,如白矮星-的目标是了解的影响,磁场的BL。我们使用圆柱坐标与等温状态方程,并调查了一些初始场的几何形状,包括环形,垂直,垂直与零净通量。我们的初始设置包括一个开普勒盘连接到一个非旋转的恒星。在以前的工作中,我们发现,在流体动力学模拟,声波激发的剪切BL能够有效地传输角动量和驱动质量吸积到恒星上。在这里,我们确认,在MHD模拟,波作为一种有效的手段,在BL附近的角动量输运,尽管磁旋转不稳定性(MRI)在磁盘中操作。特别地,由于波引起的角动量电流有时大于由于MRI引起的角动量电流。我们的研究结果表明,在BL及其附近的角动量输运是一个全球性的现象,通过波和冲击的耗散发生。这一观点与标准的局部反常湍流粘性输运图有很大不同。除了角动量输运,我们还研究了BL内的磁场放大。我们发现,该领域确实是在BL放大,但只有几个因素,并保持亚热。

英文摘要:

We perform global unstratified 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations of an astrophysical boundary layer (BL) -- an interface region between an accretion disk and a weakly magnetized accreting object such as a white dwarf -- with the goal of understanding the effects of magnetic field on the BL. We use cylindrical coordinates with an isothermal equation of state and investigate a number of initial field geometries including toroidal, vertical, and vertical with zero net flux. Our initial setup consists of a Keplerian disk attached to a non-rotating star. In a previous work, we found that in hydrodynamical simulations, sound waves excited by shear in the BL were able to efficiently transport angular momentum and drive mass accretion onto the star. Here we confirm that in MHD simulations, waves serve as an efficient means of angular momentum transport in the vicinity of the BL, despite the magnetorotational instability (MRI) operating in the disk. In particular, the angular momentum current due to waves is at times larger than the angular momentum current due to MRI. Our results suggest that angular momentum transport in the BL and its vicinity is a global phenomenon occurring through dissipation of waves and shocks. This point of view is quite different from the standard picture of transport by a local anomalous turbulent viscosity. In addition to angular momentum transport, we also study magnetic field amplification within the BL. We find that the field is indeed amplified in the BL, but only by a factor of a few and remains subthermal.
