陀螺动力学场论作为规范变换,或:无需Lie变换的陀螺动力学理论

Gyrokinetic Field Theory as a Gauge Transform or: gyrokinetic theory without Lie transforms

Bruce D. Scott

AI总结:

该论文提出陀螺动力学理论应视为低频规范变换而非粒子轨道处理,通过在拉格朗日量中变换保持能量与动量守恒,为全f电磁陀螺动力学计算提供基础。

摘要:

陀螺动力学理论是处理磁化等离子体动力学的基础,该动力学比粒子回旋频率慢,且背景尺度大于相关回旋半径。场扰动的能量可与热能量相当,但小于背景磁场能量。若正确应用,它是一种低频规范变换,而非对粒子轨道的处理,更是一种以回旋中心而非粒子为表达形式的表示,而非近似。通过在场/粒子拉格朗日量中进行所有变换和近似,可保持精确的能量一致性,从而时间对称性确保能量守恒,空间轴对称性确保环向角动量守恒。该方法借鉴了漂移动力学模型的早期经验,同时展示了陀螺动力学表示独立于Lie变换的特定性或特定排序极限,并恢复了低频磁流体动力学的基本要素(包括平衡态)。它为全f电磁陀螺动力学或陀螺流体计算提供了有用基础。文中还展示了基于平行速度空间坐标选择的各种表示版本。

英文摘要:

Gyrokinetic theory is a basis for treating magnetised plasma dynamics slower than particle gyrofrequencies where the scale of the background is larger than relevant gyroradii. The energy of field perturbations can be comparable to the thermal energy but smaller than the energy of the background magnetic field. Properly applied, it is a low-frequency gauge transform rather than a treatment of particle orbits, and more a representation in terms of gyrocenters rather than particles than an approximation. By making all transformations and approximations in the field/particle Lagrangian one preserves exact energetic consistency so that time symmetry ensures energy conservation and spatial axisymmetry ensures toroidal angular momentum conservation. This method draws on earlier experience with drift-kinetic models while showing the independence of gyrokinetic representation from particularities of Lie transforms or specific ordering limits, and that the essentials of low-frequency magnetohydrodynamics, including the equilibrium, are recovered. It gives a useful basis for total-f electromagnetic gyrokinetic or gyrofluid computation. Various versions of the representation based upon choice of parallel velocity space coordinate are illustrated.
