摘要:

首次验证了大导场$B_g / δB_0 \gg 1$的结果,给出了聚变磁重联的陀螺动力学模拟和日冕磁场重联相关的$β_i = 0.01$和太阳风磁场重联相关的$β_i = 1$,其中$δB_0$是重联场。粒子单元(PIC)模拟扫描宽范围的引导磁场强度,以测试收敛到陀螺极限。陀螺动力学模拟显示出高度的形态对称性,PIC模拟收敛时,$β_i B_g / δB_0 \gtrsim 1$和$B_g / δB_0 \gg 1$。在政权的收敛,重联率,相对能量转换,和整体的幅度被发现之间的PIC和gyrokinetic模拟匹配良好,这意味着gyrokinetic是能够作出准确的预测,以及在其制度的正式适用性。这些结果表明,在大的引导场限制许多量所产生的非线性演化的重联尺度线性与引导场。

英文摘要:

Results of the first validation of large guide field, $B_g / δB_0 \gg 1$, gyrokinetic simulations of magnetic reconnection at a fusion and solar corona relevant $β_i = 0.01$ and solar wind relevant $β_i = 1$ are presented, where $δB_0$ is the reconnecting field. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations scan a wide range of guide magnetic field strength to test for convergence to the gyrokinetic limit. The gyrokinetic simulations display a high degree of morphological symmetry, to which the PIC simulations converge when $β_i B_g / δB_0 \gtrsim 1$ and $B_g / δB_0 \gg 1$. In the regime of convergence, the reconnection rate, relative energy conversion, and overall magnitudes are found to match well between the PIC and gyrokinetic simulations, implying that gyrokinetics is capable of making accurate predictions well outside its regime of formal applicability. These results imply that in the large guide field limit many quantities resulting from the nonlinear evolution of reconnection scale linearly with the guide field.
