摘要:

太阳磁共振是由部分电离的等离子体形成的,其粒子间的碰撞频率通常与磁流体动力学处理无关。在这项工作中,我们探讨的动力学影响和可观察到的签名时,离子中性碰撞不完全耦合的中性和带电流体的参数制度的两种流体效应。我们进行2.5D的两种流体(电荷-中性粒子)的瑞利-泰勒不稳定性(RTI)在一个光滑变化的界面之间的日珥线程和日冕的模拟。本研究的目的是通过非线性双流体数值模拟,加深我们对RTI以及部分电离对RTI发展的影响的理解。我们的双流体模型考虑了粘度,热导率和中性粒子和电荷之间的碰撞相互作用:电离/复合,能量和动量转移,以及摩擦加热。本文探讨了RTI动力学对日珥平衡位形的敏感性,包括支撑日珥线的磁场强度和剪切力,以及日珥质量负载量的影响。我们表明,在小尺度下,一个现实的光滑的双电晕接口导致定性不同的线性RTI演变比预期的不连续的接口,而磁场剪切具有稳定的影响,降低增长率或消除不稳定性。在非线性阶段,我们观察到,在场剪切的存在下的不稳定性的发展导致形成的相干和相互作用的2.5D磁结构,这反过来又会导致大量的等离子体流穿过磁场线和相关的去耦的流体速度的电荷和中性粒子。

英文摘要:

Solar prominences are formed by partially ionized plasma with inter-particle collision frequencies generally warranting magnetohydrodynamic treatment. In this work, we explore the dynamical impacts and observable signatures of two-fluid effects in the parameter regimes when ion-neutral collisions do not fully couple the neutral and charged fluids. We perform 2.5D two-fluid (charges - neutrals) simulations of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) at a smoothly changing interface between a solar prominence thread and the corona. The purpose of this study is to deepen our understanding of the RTI and the effects of the partial ionization on the development of RTI using non-linear two-fluid numerical simulations. Our two-fluid model takes into account viscosity, thermal conductivity, and collisional interaction between neutrals and charges: ionization/recombination, energy and momentum transfer, and frictional heating. In this paper I, the sensitivity of the RTI dynamics to the prominence equilibrium configuration, including the impact of the magnetic field strength and shear supporting the prominence thread, and the amount of prominence mass-loading is explored. We show that, at small scales, a realistically smooth prominence-corona interface leads to qualitatively different linear RTI evolution than that expected for a discontinuous interface, while magnetic field shear has the stabilizing effect of reducing the growth rate or eliminating the instability. In the non-linear phase, we observe that in the presence of field shear the development of the instability leads to formation of coherent and interacting 2.5D magnetic structures, which, in turn, can lead to substantial plasma flow across magnetic field lines and associated decoupling of the fluid velocities of charges and neutrals.
