可压缩等温turbulence直接数值模拟中磁螺旋度的逆传递:标度律

Inverse transfer of magnetic helicity in direct numerical simulations of compressible isothermal turbulence: scaling laws

Jean-Mathieu Teissier, Wolf-Christian Müller

摘要:

在等温理想磁流体力学(MHD)框架下,通过直接数值模拟大尺度机械驱动的湍流,研究了磁螺旋度的逆传递。机械力要么是纯螺线管的,要么是纯压缩的,所考虑的紊流稳态具有均方根(RMS)马赫数0.1 $\lesssim$ M $\lesssim$ 11。一个连续的小规模电动势强迫注入磁螺旋波动,这导致越来越大的磁结构的建立。谱标度指数的观察,对于低马赫数,是一致的不可压缩的情况下与以前的研究。更高的压缩性导致更平坦的磁螺旋度标度指数。与压缩驱动紊流相比,即使在高马赫数下,螺线管驱动紊流与不可压缩情况的偏差也比较小,在压缩驱动紊流中,在相对较低的RMS马赫数M $\gtrsim$ 3下已经可以看到很大的偏差。因此,可压缩效应可以在磁螺旋度的逆传递中发挥重要作用,特别是当湍流驱动器相当压缩时。然而,在不可压缩情况下观察到的理论结果,可以通过适当改变变量,使用阿尔文速度代替磁场,转移到超音速湍流。

英文摘要:

The inverse transfer of magnetic helicity is investigated through direct numerical simulations of large-scale-mechanically-driven turbulent flows in the isothermal ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) framework. The mechanical forcing is either purely solenoidal or purely compressive and the turbulent steady-states considered exhibit root mean square (RMS) Mach numbers 0.1 $\lesssim$ M $\lesssim$ 11. A continuous small-scale electromotive forcing injects magnetic helical fluctuations, which lead to the build-up of ever larger magnetic structures. Spectral scaling exponents are observed which, for low Mach numbers, are consistent with previous research done in the incompressible case. Higher compressibility leads to flatter magnetic helicity scaling exponents. The deviations from the incompressible case are comparatively small for solenoidally-driven turbulence, even at high Mach numbers, as compared to those for compressively-driven turbulence, where strong deviations are already visible at relatively mild RMS Mach numbers M $\gtrsim$ 3. Compressible effects can thus play an important role in the inverse transfer of magnetic helicity, especially when the turbulence drivers are rather compressive. Theoretical results observed in the incompressible case can, however, be transferred to supersonic turbulence by an appropriate change of variables, using the Alfvén velocity in place of the magnetic field.
