$α^2$ -发电机的平均场模拟与刚性旋转对流的直接数值模拟

Mean-Field Modeling of $α^2$-Dynamo Coupled with Direct Numerical Simulations of Rigidly Rotating Convection

Youhei Masada, Takayoshi Sano

摘要:

采用笛卡尔几何直接数值模拟方法,探讨了刚性旋转分层对流中大尺度发电机的机制。一个平均场发电机模型也构造使用湍流速度剖面一致提取相应的DNS结果。通过DNS和我们的平均场模型之间的定量比较,它表明,振荡的$α^2$发电机波,激发和维持在对流区,是负责大规模的磁活动,如周期性极性反转和时空迁移。结果提供了强有力的证据表明,不均匀的$α$效应,这是一个自然的旋转分层对流的结果,可以是一个重要的先决条件,大规模恒星发电机,即使没有$Ω$效应。

英文摘要:

The mechanism of large-scale dynamos in rigidly rotating stratified convection is explored by direct numerical simulations (DNS) in Cartesian geometry. A mean-field dynamo model is also constructed using turbulent velocity profiles consistently extracted from the corresponding DNS results. By quantitative comparison between the DNS and our mean-field model, it is demonstrated that the oscillatory $α^2$ dynamo wave, excited and sustained in the convection zone, is responsible for large-scale magnetic activities such as cyclic polarity reversal and spatiotemporal migration. The results provide strong evidence that a nonuniformity of the $α$-effect, which is a natural outcome of rotating stratified convection, can be an important prerequisite for large-scale stellar dynamos, even without the $Ω$-effect.
