摘要:

在大红球的实验中,以及在模拟这些实验中进行的扩展MHD代码,NIMROD的磁流光结构的尖端准周期等离子体团的形成被观察到发生。在实验和模拟中,发现这种等离子体团的形成发生在依赖于压力梯度和磁曲率的特征时间尺度上。当压力梯度适中时,存在单模或层流等离子体团,但当系统驱动更高时,让位于湍流等离子体团喷射,产生许多尺寸的等离子体团。然而,也观察到一个临界压力梯度,低于该压力梯度,等离子体团永远不会形成。一个简单的启发式模型,这种等离子体形成过程中,并建议是一个结果的动态平衡损失的高$β$区域的头盔流光。该模型能够解释在实验和模拟中观察到的等离子体团的周期性,并且当应用于高度为$3R_\odot$的太阳流的2D模型时,产生90分钟的等离子体团周期。这与LASCO和SECCHI仪器观察到的周期性等离子体斑点形成的位置和频率一致。

英文摘要:

Quasi-periodic plasmoid formation at the tip of magnetic streamer structures is observed to occur in experiments on the Big Red Ball as well as in simulations of these experiments performed with the extended-MHD code, NIMROD. This plasmoid formation is found to occur on a characteristic timescale dependent on pressure gradients and magnetic curvature in both experiment and simulation. Single mode, or laminar, plasmoids exist when the pressure gradient is modest, but give way to turbulent plasmoid ejection when the system drive is higher, producing plasmoids of many sizes. However, a critical pressure gradient is also observed, below which plasmoids are never formed. A simple heuristic model of this plasmoid formation process is presented and suggested to be a consequence of a dynamic loss of equilibrium in the high-$β$ region of the helmet streamer. This model is capable of explaining the periodicity of plasmoids observed in the experiment and simulations and produces plasmoid periods of 90 minutes when applied to 2D models of solar streamers with a height of $3R_\odot$. This is consistent with the location and frequency at which periodic plasma blobs have been observed to form by LASCO and SECCHI instruments.
