团内磁场的湍流放大和结构

Turbulent Amplification and Structure of the Intracluster Magnetic Field

Andrey Beresnyak, Francesco Miniati

摘要:

我们比较了均匀各向同性湍流的DNS计算与Matryoshka Run(Miniati 2014)中集群内湍流的统计特性,并发现它们的惯性范围之间存在显着的相似性。这使我们能够使用团内湍流的时间相关统计特性来评估团内介质中的发电机作用,基于数值解析的非线性磁流体动力学湍流发电机的早期结果(Beresnyak 2012)。我们认为,这种方法是必要的(a)适当规范发电机行动可用的集群内湍流能量和(b)克服低Re影响当前数值模型的集群内介质的限制。我们发现,虽然集群内的磁场的属性在很大程度上是不敏感的种子场的值和起源,阿尔芬速度和外部规模的磁场的结果值与目前的观测估计是一致的,基本上证实了这样的想法,即磁场在今天的星系团是它过去的湍流活动的记录。

英文摘要:

We compare DNS calculations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence with the statistical properties of intra-cluster turbulence from the Matryoshka Run (Miniati 2014) and find remarkable similarities between their inertial ranges. This allowed us to use the time dependent statistical properties of intra-cluster turbulence to evaluate dynamo action in the intra-cluster medium, based on earlier results from numerically resolved nonlinear magneto-hydrodynamic turbulent dynamo (Beresnyak 2012). We argue that this approach is necessary (a) to properly normalize dynamo action to the available intra-cluster turbulent energy and (b) to overcome the limitations of low Re affecting current numerical models of the intra-cluster medium. We find that while the properties of intra-cluster magnetic field are largely insensitive to the value and origin of the seed field, the resulting values for the Alfven speed and the outer scale of the magnetic field are consistent with current observational estimates, basically confirming the idea that magnetic field in today's galaxy clusters is a record of its past turbulent activity.
