冕环系统中激波与湍流加热的竞争

Competition between shock and turbulent heating in coronal loop system

Takuma Matsumoto

摘要:

2.5-三维磁流体动力学(MHD)模拟进行高空间分辨率,以区分日冕加热问题的竞争模型。本研究的目标是由光球中激发的阿尔文波驱动的单个日冕环。在我们的模拟中,日冕结构被再现为阿尔文波传输和耗散的自然结果。此外,日冕结构保持空间分辨率从25公里到3公里的变化,虽然在环顶部的温度增加的空间分辨率。加热机制逐渐改变整个磁冠在4毫米的高度。磁冠下,无论是冲击和MHD湍流是占主导地位的加热过程。在磁冠上方,冲击加热率降低到小于总加热率的10%,而MHD湍流提供了显著的能量来平衡辐射冷却和热传导损失或增益。本文研究中所显示的可压缩性的重要性将对太阳色球层中成功的MHD湍流理论的前景产生重大影响。

英文摘要:

2.5-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations are performed with high spatial resolution in order to distinguish between competing models of the coronal heating problem. A single coronal loop powered by Alfvén waves excited in the photosphere is the target of the present study. The coronal structure is reproduced in our simulations as a natural consequence of the transportation and dissipation of Alfvén waves. Further, the coronal structure is maintained as the spatial resolution is changed from 25 to 3 km, although the temperature at the loop top increases with the spatial resolution. The heating mechanisms change gradually across the magnetic canopy at a height of 4 Mm. Below the magnetic canopy, both the shock and the MHD turbulence are dominant heating processes. Above the magnetic canopy, the shock heating rate reduces to less than 10 % of the total heating rate while the MHD turbulence provides significant energy to balance the radiative cooling and thermal conduction loss or gain. The importance of compressibility shown in the present study would significantly impact on the prospects of successful MHD turbulence theory in the solar chromosphere.
