摘要:

在可压缩、湍流磁流体力学中进行精确的大涡模拟比在非磁化流体中更具有挑战性,这是由于在不同尺度下动能、磁能和内能之间的复杂相互作用。在这里,我们扩展了亚网格尺度梯度模型,到目前为止,在动量和感应方程中使用的,也占未解决的尺度的能量演化方程的可压缩的理想MHD流体的通用状态方程。我们评估模型,考虑箱模拟的剪切层的开尔文-亥姆霍兹不稳定性触发的湍流,测试的情况下,小规模的动态不能完全捕获的分辨率考虑,这样的模拟发电机效应的效率取决于所采用的分辨率。这种数值收敛的缺乏实际上是目前几个天体物理问题中的一个常见问题,其中积分和增长最快的不稳定性尺度相距太远,无法在数值上完全覆盖。我们进行先验和后验测试的扩展梯度模型。在前者中,我们发现,对于许多不同的初始条件和分辨率,梯度模型优于其他常用的模型在相关性与残差来自高分辨率运行的过滤。在第二个测试中,我们展示了梯度模型的低分辨率运行如何能够定量地再现来自高分辨率运行的磁能(积分值和谱分布)的演变。这一扩展是实现相对论磁流体力学的第一步。

英文摘要:

Performing accurate large eddy simulations in compressible, turbulent magnetohydrodynamics is more challenging than in non-magnetized fluids due to the complex interplay between kinetic, magnetic and internal energy at different scales. Here we extend the sub-grid-scale gradient model, so far used in the momentum and induction equations, to account also for the unresolved scales in the energy evolution equation of a compressible ideal MHD fluid with a generic equation of state. We assess the model by considering box simulations of the turbulence triggered across a shear layer by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, testing cases where the small-scale dynamics cannot be fully captured by the resolution considered, such that the efficiency of the simulated dynamo effect depends on the resolution employed. This lack of numerical convergence is actually a currently common issue in several astrophysical problems, where the integral and fastest-growing-instability scales are too far apart to be fully covered numerically. We perform a-priori and a-posteriori tests of the extended gradient model. In the former, we find that, for many different initial conditions and resolutions, the gradient model outperforms other commonly used models in terms of correlation with the residuals coming from the filtering of a high-resolution run. In the second test, we show how a low-resolution run with the gradient model is able to quantitatively reproduce the evolution of the magnetic energy (the integrated value and the spectral distribution) coming from higher-resolution runs. This extension is the first step towards the implementation in relativistic magnetohydrodynamics.
