Turbulence、欧姆死区中的传输和波

Turbulence, Transport and Waves in Ohmic Dead Zones

Daniel Gole, Jacob B. Simon, Stephen H. Lubow, Philip J. Armitage

摘要:

我们利用局部数值模拟研究了一个垂直分层的吸积盘与电阻的中间平面,阻尼磁流体动力学(MHD)湍流。这是一个理想化的模型,适用于在原行星和矮新星盘的某些半径上可能存在的死区。我们改变死区和活动区的相对厚度,以量化死区中受迫流体运动的变化。我们发现,中平面附近的残余雷诺应力随着死区厚度的增加而减小,在有效质量与死质量之比小于百分之几的情况下变得可以忽略不计。这意味着纯粹的欧姆死区很容易受到Martin & Lubow(2011)机制的幕式吸积爆发的影响。我们发现,即使厚死区支持大量的动能,但这种能量主要是在流体运动,是低效的角动量传输。根据Oishi & Mac Low(2009年)的计算结果,死区中的扰动速度场主要由振荡的垂直延伸环流模式控制,与轨道频率相比频率较低。这种扰动具有预测的最低阶r模式在流体动力盘的属性。我们认为,在一个全球磁盘类似的激发将导致传播波,其属性将随死区的厚度和扰动的性质(等温或绝热)。具有类似幅度的流动会使沉降的颗粒层弯曲,并可能降低卵石吸积的效率。

英文摘要:

We use local numerical simulations to study a vertically stratified accretion disk with a resistive mid-plane that damps magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. This is an idealized model for the dead zones that may be present at some radii in protoplanetary and dwarf novae disks. We vary the relative thickness of the dead and active zones to quantify how forced fluid motions in the dead zone change. We find that the residual Reynolds stress near the mid-plane decreases with increasing dead zone thickness, becoming negligible in cases where the active to dead mass ratio is less than a few percent. This implies that purely Ohmic dead zones would be vulnerable to episodic accretion outbursts via the mechanism of Martin & Lubow (2011). We show that even thick dead zones support a large amount of kinetic energy, but this energy is largely in fluid motions that are inefficient at angular momentum transport. Confirming results from Oishi & Mac Low (2009), the perturbed velocity field in the dead zone is dominated by an oscillatory, vertically extended circulation pattern with a low frequency compared to the orbital frequency. This disturbance has the properties predicted for the lowest order r mode in a hydrodynamic disk. We suggest that in a global disk similar excitations would lead to propagating waves, whose properties would vary with the thickness of the dead zone and the nature of the perturbations (isothermal or adiabatic). Flows with similar amplitudes would buckle settled particle layers and could reduce the efficiency of pebble accretion.
