太阳热日冕中涡旋脱落的证据

Evidence for Vortex Shedding in the Sun's Hot Corona

Tanmoy Samanta, Hui Tian, Valery M. Nakariakov

摘要:

旋涡脱落是由于流动介质中存在钝体而在流体中经常观察到的振荡流动。数值模拟表明,旋涡脱落现象也可以在磁流体动力学(MHD)域中发展。无量纲Strouhal数,钝体直径与旋涡脱落周期和流动介质速度的乘积的比率,是旋涡脱落的稳健指标,并且对于宽范围的雷诺数通常为0.2的量级。利用太阳动力学天文台上大气成像组件的观测,我们报告了一种波状或振荡的等离子体流逆着太阳的引力向上传播。耀斑后区域新形成的收缩环可能通过涡旋脱落在热稠密环的尾流中产生上升流的振荡。计算出的Strouhal数与以前的MHD模拟的预测是一致的。我们的观察表明日冕中存在涡旋脱落的可能性。

英文摘要:

Vortex shedding is an oscillating flow that is commonly observed in fluids due to the presence of a blunt body in a flowing medium. Numerical simulations have shown that the phenomenon of vortex shedding could also develop in the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) domain. The dimensionless Strouhal number, the ratio of the blunt body diameter to the product of the period of vortex shedding and the speed of a flowing medium, is a robust indicator for vortex shedding, and, generally of the order of 0.2 for a wide range of Reynolds number. Using an observation from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory, we report a wavelike or oscillating plasma flow propagating upward against the Sun's gravitational force. A newly formed shrinking loop in the post-flare region possibly generates the oscillation of the upflow in the wake of the hot and dense loop through vortex shedding. The computed Strouhal number is consistent with the prediction from previous MHD simulations. Our observation suggests the possibility of vortex shedding in the solar corona.
