模拟快速旋转恒星的外层
Simulating the outer layers of rapidly rotating stars
摘要:
本文介绍了一组辐射流体动力学(RHD)模拟的结果在一个快速旋转的恒星近表面区域的对流。模拟使用与恒星模型一致的微观物理学,并包括现实对流和辐射转移的影响。我们发现,旋转的整体效果是减少湍流的强度。旋转和辐射冷却的组合创建了一个纬向速度分布,其中表面附近的流体包裹的运动是独立的旋转。它们的运动是由辐射冷却产生的强烈的上下流动控制的。另一方面,深层中的流体包裹体受旋转控制。
英文摘要:
This paper presents the results of a set of radiative hydrodynamic (RHD) simulations of convection in the near-surface regions of a rapidly rotating star. The simulations use microphysics consistent with stellar models, and include the effects of realistic convection and radiative transfer. We find that the overall effect of rotation is to reduce the strength of turbulence. The combination of rotation and radiative cooling creates a zonal velocity profile in which the motion of fluid parcels near the surface is independent of rotation. Their motion is controlled by the strong up and down flows generated by radiative cooling. The fluid parcels in the deeper layers, on the other hand, are controlled by rotation.
