摘要:

利用标准剪切盒模拟方法研究了净磁通量为零的开普勒圆盘中磁旋转不稳定性(MRI)驱动湍流对磁普朗特数(${\rm Pm}$)的维持和依赖性。我们专注于傅立叶空间中的湍流动力学,捕捉特定/非正则各向异性的非线性过程,由于磁盘流剪切。这是一种新型的非线性波矢方向上的模式重新分布--非线性横向叶栅--它是剪切流的普遍现象,与通常的正/逆叶栅有着根本的不同。零通量MRI没有指数增长模式,因此其增长是瞬态的或非模态的。湍流的自我维持是由MRI的瞬态增长和非线性横向级联的建设性合作。这种合作发生在小的波数(在流量大小尺度上),称为傅立叶空间中的重要区域。直接级联将模能量从重要区域转移到更大的波数。在大的${\rm Pm}$,横向级联优于直接级联,保持大部分模式的能量包含在小的波数。然而,随着${\rm Pm}$的减小,横向级联的作用减弱,并且不再能够对抗直接级联的作用,直接级联更有效地将能量传递到更高的波数,从而导致增加的电阻耗散。这破坏了维持方案,导致湍流衰减。因此,零净通量MRI湍流的衰减与减少${\rm Pm}$归因于拓扑重排的非线性过程时,直接级联开始占上风的横向级联。

英文摘要:

We investigate sustenance and dependence on magnetic Prandtl number (${\rm Pm}$) for magnetorotational instability (MRI)-driven turbulence in astrophysical Keplerian disks with zero net magnetic flux using standard shearing box simulations. We focus on the turbulence dynamics in Fourier space, capturing specific/noncanonical anisotropy of nonlinear processes due to disk flow shear. This is a new type of nonlinear redistribution of modes over wavevector orientations in Fourier space -- the nonlinear transverse cascade -- which is generic to shear flows and fundamentally different from usual direct/inverse cascade. The zero flux MRI has no exponentially growing modes, so its growth is transient, or nonmodal. Turbulence self-sustenance is governed by constructive cooperation of the transient growth of MRI and the nonlinear transverse cascade. This cooperation takes place at small wavenumbers (on the flow size scales) referred to as the vital area in Fourier space. The direct cascade transfers mode energy from the vital area to larger wavenumbers. At large ${\rm Pm}$, the transverse cascade prevails over the direct one, keeping most of modes' energy contained in small wavenumbers. With decreasing ${\rm Pm}$, however, the action of the transverse cascade weakens and can no longer oppose the action of direct cascade which more efficiently transfers energy to higher wavenumbers, leading to increased resistive dissipation. This undermines the sustenance scheme, resulting in the turbulence decay. Thus, the decay of zero net flux MRI-turbulence with decreasing ${\rm Pm}$ is attributed to topological rearrangement of the nonlinear processes when the direct cascade begins to prevail over the transverse cascade.
