Athena两矩辐射流体动力学模型的时间显式Goddle方法

A Two-moment Radiation Hydrodynamics Module in Athena Using a Time-explicit Godunov Method

M. Aaron Skinner, Eve C. Ostriker

摘要:

我们描述了一个模块的雅典娜代码,解决了辐射流体动力学(RHD)的灰色方程,基于前两个时刻的辐射转移方程。我们使用一个显式的Goddom方法的组合,以推进气体和辐射变量,包括非刚性源项,和一个局部隐式方法集成的刚性源项。我们采用了M1闭包关系,并包含了所有的前导源项。我们采用降低光速近似(RSLA)与辐射变量的子循环,以减少计算成本。我们的代码在一维,二维和三维空间中是不可分割的,并使用MPI进行并行化。的流动和扩散的限制是很好地描述了M1封闭模型,我们的实施方案显示出良好的行为与集中的辐射源同时包含两个政权的问题。我们的运营商分裂的方法是非常适合的问题,缓慢变化的辐射场和动态的气体流量,其中的RSLA的影响是最小的。我们提出了一个RHD线性波的色散关系的分析突出的RSLA的适用条件。为了证明我们的方法的准确性,我们利用了一套辐射和RHD测试,涵盖了广泛的制度,包括RHD波,冲击和平衡,在大多数情况下,显示二阶收敛。作为应用,我们研究了辐射驱动的星际介质(ISM)中尘埃光学厚壳层的喷射。最后,我们比较了我们的方法与其他著名的RHD方程的迭代计划的时间。我们的代码实现,ESTA,适用于各种各样的天体物理应用程序,并将在Web上免费提供。

英文摘要:

We describe a module for the Athena code that solves the gray equations of radiation hydrodynamics (RHD), based on the first two moments of the radiative transfer equation. We use a combination of explicit Godunov methods to advance the gas and radiation variables including the non-stiff source terms, and a local implicit method to integrate the stiff source terms. We adopt the M1 closure relation and include all leading source terms. We employ the reduced speed of light approximation (RSLA) with subcycling of the radiation variables in order to reduce computational costs. Our code is dimensionally unsplit in one, two, and three space dimensions and is parallelized using MPI. The streaming and diffusion limits are well-described by the M1 closure model, and our implementation shows excellent behavior for a problem with a concentrated radiation source containing both regimes simultaneously. Our operator-split method is ideally suited for problems with a slowly varying radiation field and dynamical gas flows, in which the effect of the RSLA is minimal. We present an analysis of the dispersion relation of RHD linear waves highlighting the conditions of applicability for the RSLA. To demonstrate the accuracy of our method, we utilize a suite of radiation and RHD tests covering a broad range of regimes, including RHD waves, shocks, and equilibria, which show second-order convergence in most cases. As an application, we investigate radiation-driven ejection of a dusty, optically thick shell in the interstellar medium (ISM). Finally, we compare the timing of our method with other well-known iterative schemes for the RHD equations. Our code implementation, Hyperion, is suitable for a wide variety of astrophysical applications and will be made freely available on the Web.
