随机驱动吸积流的磁流体动力学稳定性

Magnetohydrodynamic stability of stochastically driven accretion flows

摘要:

我们研究了旋转剪切流中存在随机噪声时磁流体动力学/磁流体动力学扰动的演化。重点研究了随着径向坐标的增大,角速度减小,比角动量增大的流动。然而,这种流动是瑞利稳定的,但必须是湍流,以解释天体物理观测数据,因此,揭示了线性理论和观测/实验之间的不匹配。至少在某些情况下,在弱磁场的存在下,这种不匹配似乎已经得到了解决,揭示了磁旋转不稳定性。本工作探讨了随机噪声对磁流体力学流动的影响,以解决上述失配一般的热流。我们基本上集中在这样的流的一小部分,这只是一个平面剪切流补充科里奥利效应,模仿一个小部分的天体物理学吸积盘周围的一个紧凑的对象。研究发现,这种随机驱动的流动表现出很大的时间和空间自相关性和扰动的互相关性,从而产生很大的扰动能量耗散,从而产生不稳定性。有趣的是,自相关和互相关出现独立的背景角速度配置文件,这是瑞利稳定,表明它们的普遍性。这项工作,据我们所知,是第一次尝试了解的三维磁流体扰动在旋转剪切流中的随机噪声的存在下的演变。

英文摘要:

We investigate the evolution of magnetohydrodynamic/hydromagnetic perturbations in the presence of stochastic noise in rotating shear flows. The particular emphasis is the flows whose angular velocity decreases but specific angular momentum increases with increasing radial coordinate. Such flows, however, are Rayleigh stable, but must be turbulent in order to explain astrophysical observed data and, hence, reveal a mismatch between the linear theory and observations/experiments. The mismatch seems to have been resolved, atleast in certain regimes, in the presence of weak magnetic field revealing magnetorotational instability. The present work explores the effects of stochastic noise on such magnetohydrodynamic flows, in order to resolve the above mismatch generically for the hot flows. We essentially concentrate on a small section of such a flow which is nothing but a plane shear flow supplemented by the Coriolis effect, mimicking a small section of an astrophysical accretion disk around a compact object. It is found that such stochastically driven flows exhibit large temporal and spatial auto-correlations and cross-correlations of perturbation and hence large energy dissipations of perturbation, which generate instability. Interestingly, auto-correlations and cross-correlations appear independent of background angular velocity profiles, which are Rayleigh stable, indicating their universality. This work, to the best of our knowledge, is the first attempt to understand the evolution of three-dimensional hydromagnetic perturbations in rotating shear flows in the presence of stochastic noise.
