太阳平衡模型:流体动力学极限

A model of solar equilibrium: the hydrodynamic limit

Lee Gunderson, Amitava Bhattacharjee

摘要:

日震学揭示了太阳的内部密度和旋转轮廓。然而,关于它的磁场和纬向环流的知识局限于更接近地表的地方,纬度熵梯度低于可检测的极限。虽然数值模拟可以提供对内部动力学的深入了解,并帮助确定哪些成分是重现特定观测所必需的,但太阳的某些特征可以从平衡的角度进行分析。这样的功能的例子包括:从核心到表面的稳定状态的能量传输所产生的一维密度分布,和倾斜的对流区(CZ)由于斜压强迫的等旋轮廓。为了帮助确定哪些功能可以解释的平衡,我们建议分析固定的轴对称理想磁流体动力学流在太阳能政权。通过规定一个适当的熵分布在表面上,我们恢复一个旋转配置文件,合理地匹配的观察大部分的CZ。此外,通过包括极向流的影响,我们再现了一个功能,让人想起近地表剪切层。然而,在流体动力学平衡中没有看到类似于速斜的特征,这表明在其描述中动力学或磁场的重要性。

英文摘要:

Helioseismology has revealed the internal density and rotation profiles of the Sun. Yet, knowledge of its magnetic fields and meridional circulation is confined much closer to the surface, and latitudinal entropy gradients are below detectable limits. While numerical simulations can offer insight into the interior dynamics and help identify which ingredients are necessary to reproduce particular observations, some features of the Sun can be understood analytically from an equilibrium perspective. Examples of such features include: the 1D density profile arising from steady-state energy transport from the core to the surface, and the tilting of isorotation contours in the convection zone (CZ) due to baroclinic forcing. To help identify which features can be explained by equilibrium, we propose analyzing stationary axisymmetric ideal magnetohydrodynamic flows in the solar regime. By prescribing an appropriate entropy profile at the surface, we recover a rotation profile that reasonably matches observations in the bulk of the CZ. Additionally, by including the effects of poloidal flow, we reproduce a feature that is reminiscent of the near surface shear layer. However, no tachocline-like feature is seen in hydrodynamic equilibrium, suggesting the importance of either dynamics or magnetic fields in its description.
