引力坍缩中的非线性湍流发电机

Nonlinear turbulent dynamo during gravitational collapse

Siyao Xu, Alex Lazarian

摘要:

通过湍流发电机的放大,磁场可能对第一批恒星的形成具有潜在的重要性。为了研究原初气体引力坍缩过程中的发电机行为,我们将非线性湍流发电机理论扩展到包括引力压缩效应。发电机和压缩之间的相对重要性在收缩过程中变化,随着密度的增加,磁场的放大从发电机为主过渡到压缩为主。在磁场放大的非线性阶段,由于湍流与磁场的能量按尺度平均分配,理想磁流体动力学(MHD)湍流中磁场的重联扩散就显得尤为重要。它导致磁通冻结条件的破坏,并解释了(a)非线性发电机的小增长率,(b)在收缩过程中磁能对密度的弱依赖性,(c)饱和磁能,以及(d)磁场的大关联长度。由此产生的磁场结构和磁场强度与密度的比例关系与磁通冻结的预期完全不同。

英文摘要:

Via amplification by turbulent dynamo, magnetic fields can be potentially important for the formation of the first stars. To examine the dynamo behavior during the gravitational collapse of primordial gas, we extend the theory of nonlinear turbulent dynamo to include the effect of gravitational compression. The relative importance between dynamo and compression varies during contraction, with the transition from dynamo- to compression-dominated amplification of magnetic fields with the increase of density. In the nonlinear stage of magnetic field amplification with the scale-by-scale energy equipartition between turbulence and magnetic fields, reconnection diffusion of magnetic fields in ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence becomes important. It causes the violation of flux-freezing condition and accounts for (a) the small growth rate of nonlinear dynamo, (b) the weak dependence of magnetic energy on density during contraction, (c) the saturated magnetic energy, and (d) the large correlation length of magnetic fields. The resulting magnetic field structure and the scaling of magnetic field strength with density are radically different from the expectations of flux-freezing.
