具有回转粘性效应的电子尺度简化流体模型

Electron-scale reduced fluid models with gyroviscous effects

T. Passot, P. L. Sulem, E. Tassi

摘要:

减少流体模型的碰撞无等离子体,包括电子惯性和有限的拉莫尔半径修正的尺度范围从离子到电子gyroradii。基于压力平衡或电子流体的不可压缩性,它们分别捕获动力学Alfvén波(KAWs)或哨声波(WWs),并可以为重联和湍流研究提供合适的工具。等温制度和朗道流体封闭允许各向异性的压力波动被认为是。对于电子β参数$β_e$的小值,在相当于电子惯性长度的尺度下有效的回旋粘性力的微扰计算在$O(β_e)$阶进行,这需要在尺度扩展中的二阶贡献。与动力学理论的比较是在线性制度。强和弱湍流能量级联的横向磁波动的频谱也唯象预测这两种类型的波。在中等离子与电子温度比的情况下,在小于电子惯性长度的尺度下,得到了一种新的KAW湍流区,其中磁能谱的衰减类似于$k_\perp^{-13/3}$,因此比WW湍流的$k_\perp^{-11/3}$谱快。

英文摘要:

Reduced fluid models for collisionless plasmas including electron inertia and finite Larmor radius corrections are derived for scales ranging from the ion to the electron gyroradii. Based either on pressure balance or on the incompressibility of the electron fluid, they respectively capture kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs) or whistler waves (WWs), and can provide suitable tools for reconnection and turbulence studies. Both isothermal regimes and Landau fluid closures permitting anisotropic pressure fluctuations are considered. For small values of the electron beta parameter $β_e$, a perturbative computation of the gyroviscous force valid at scales comparable to the electron inertial length is performed at order $O(β_e)$, which requires second-order contributions in a scale expansion. Comparisons with kinetic theory are performed in the linear regime. The spectrum of transverse magnetic fluctuations for strong and weak turbulence energy cascades is also phenomenologically predicted for both types of waves. In the case of moderate ion to electron temperature ratio, a new regime of KAW turbulence at scales smaller than the electron inertial length is obtained, where the magnetic energy spectrum decays like $k_\perp^{-13/3}$, thus faster than the $k_\perp^{-11/3}$ spectrum of WW turbulence.
