光滑粒子磁流体力学中的双极扩散

Ambipolar diffusion in smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics

James Wurster, Daniel J. Price, Ben A. Ayliffe

摘要:

在部分电离的等离子体中,磁场可以从中性气体中分离出来,并在称为双极扩散的过程中扩散通过中性气体。虽然双极扩散已经实现了几个网格代码,我们在这里提供了一个实现平滑粒子磁流体动力学(SPMHD)。我们使用强耦合近似,其中的离子密度可以忽略不计,允许一个单一的流体的方法。导出的方程,以保存能量,并提供一个正定的贡献熵。我们在一个简单的1D SPMHD代码和完全3D代码PHANTOM中测试实现。波阻尼试验结果与分析结果的一致性在0.03- 2%之间,这取决于碰撞耦合常数的值。斜C冲击试验产生的结果通常在半分析结果的4%以内。因此,我们的算法适合探索双极扩散对物理过程的影响,例如从分子云形成恒星。

英文摘要:

In partially ionised plasmas, the magnetic field can become decoupled from the neutral gas and diffuse through it in a process known as ambipolar diffusion. Although ambipolar diffusion has been implemented in several grid codes, we here provide an implementation in smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics (SPMHD). We use the strong coupling approximation in which the ion density is negligible, allowing a single fluid approach. The equations are derived to conserve energy, and to provide a positive definite contribution to the entropy. We test the implementation in both a simple 1D SPMHD code and the fully 3D code PHANTOM. The wave damping test yields agreement within 0.03-2 per cent of the analytical result, depending on the value of the collisional coupling constant. The oblique C-shocks test yields results that typically agree within 4 per cent of the semi-analytical result. Our algorithm is therefore suitable for exploring the effect ambipolar diffusion has on physical processes, such as the formation of stars from molecular clouds.
