摘要:

除了标准流体动力学之外,还需要更多的物理学来完全模拟团内介质(ICM);然而,随着我们转向更复杂的模型,考虑磁场的作用和流体近似的破裂方式是很重要的。本文通过描述星系团的宇宙学模拟中磁场的统计特性,为发展ICM的自洽模型迈出了第一步。我们发现,等离子体条件在很大程度上是均匀的范围内的集群质量和弛豫状态。我们还发现,磁场长度尺度是分辨率依赖的,而不是基于任何特定的物理过程。能量传递机制和规模也被确定,并暗示存在小规模发电机行动。小尺度发电机的尺度是分辨率有限的,并且由数值电阻率和粘性驱动。

英文摘要:

Additional physics beyond standard hydrodynamics is needed to fully model the intracluster medium (ICM); however, as we move to more sophisticated models, it is important to consider the role of magnetic fields and the way the fluid approximation breaks down. This paper represents a first step towards developing a self-consistent model of the ICM by characterizing the statistical properties of magnetic fields in cosmological simulations of galaxy clusters. We find that plasma conditions are largely homogeneous across a range of cluster masses and relaxation states. We also find that the magnetic field length scales are resolution dependent and not based on any particular physical process. Energy transfer mechanisms and scales are also identified, and imply the existence of small scale dynamo action. The scales of the small scale dynamo are resolution limited and driven by numerical resistivity and viscosity.
