摘要:

用三维粒子模拟方法研究了等离子体团链的动力学行为。研究了有无强度为渐近磁场1/3的均匀引导场时系统的演化。等离子体团链由自发的磁重联形成:撕裂不稳定性迅速破坏初始电流片,产生几个小规模的等离子体团,这些等离子体团的尺寸迅速增长,合并和扭结。等离子体团扭结主要是由聚结过程驱动的。结果表明,导场的存在强烈地影响了等离子体团链的演化。在没有引导场的情况下,主要的重连位点占主导地位,并且较小的重连区域被包括在较大的重连区域中,导致等离子体团占主导地位的电流片的分层结构。相反,在存在的引导场,等离子体团具有大致相同的大小和层次结构不出现,一个强大的核心磁场的发展在中心的等离子体团在现有的引导场的方向,和凸尾不稳定性,导致形成的电子空穴,被检测到的等离子体团附近。

英文摘要:

The dynamics of a plasmoid chain is studied with three dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulations. The evolution of the system with and without a uniform guide field, whose strength is 1/3 the asymptotic magnetic field, is investigated. The plasmoid chain forms by spontaneous magnetic reconnection: the tearing instability rapidly disrupts the initial current sheet generating several small-scale plasmoids, that rapidly grow in size coalescing and kinking. The plasmoid kink is mainly driven by the coalescence process. It is found that the presence of guide field strongly influences the evolution of the plasmoid chain. Without a guide field, a main reconnection site dominates and smaller reconnection regions are included in larger ones, leading to an hierarchical structure of the plasmoid-dominated current sheet. On the contrary in presence of a guide field, plasmoids have approximately the same size and the hierarchical structure does not emerge, a strong core magnetic field develops in the center of the plasmoid in the direction of the existing guide field, and bump-on-tail instability, leading to the formation of electron holes, is detected in proximity of the plasmoids.
