摘要:

我们测试流体动力学和磁流体动力学湍流对流模拟的灵敏度相对于马赫数,热和磁边界条件,和离心力。我们发现,不同的光度,这也控制了马赫数,只有一个小的影响大尺度动力学。通过比较电场或电流密度为零时的下磁边界条件,也可以得出类似的结论。离心力对解有影响,但前提是它的重力加速度比太阳大两个数量级。最后,我们发现,参数化的光球物理,无论是一个明确的冷却项或增强辐射扩散,是更重要的热边界条件。特别是,与冷却运行往往会导致更多的各向异性对流和更强的偏离泰勒-普劳德曼状态。总之,这里采用的完全可压缩的方法与ESTO代码被认为是有效的,同时仍然允许考虑不同的时间尺度。

英文摘要:

We test the sensitivity of hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic turbulent convection simulations with respect to Mach number, thermal and magnetic boundary conditions, and the centrifugal force. We find that varying the luminosity, which also controls the Mach number, has only a minor effect on the large-scale dynamics. A similar conclusion can also be drawn from the comparison of two formulations of the lower magnetic boundary condition with either vanishing electric field or current density. The centrifugal force has an effect on the solutions, but only if its magnitude with respect to acceleration due to gravity is by two orders of magnitude greater than in the Sun. Finally, we find that the parameterisation of the photospheric physics, either by an explicit cooling term or enhanced radiative diffusion, is more important than the thermal boundary condition. In particular, runs with cooling tend to lead to more anisotropic convection and stronger deviations from the Taylor-Proudman state. In summary, the fully compressible approach taken here with the Pencil Code is found to be valid, while still allowing the disparate timescales to be taken into account.
