摘要:

在空间和天体物理学中,等离子体湍流导致相干结构的发展,其特征在于强电流密度和重要的磁剪切。使用混合动力学模拟湍流(3D与不同的能量注入尺度),我们调查这些相干结构的发展,并表征其形状。首先,我们提出了不同的方法来估计的整体形状的三维结构使用本地测量,卫星数据上的应用程序。然后研究了电流峰区内外的局域磁位形,比较了两种情况下的统计特性。最后,我们比较了在模拟中获得的本地配置的统计特性与分析MMS数据集具有类似的等离子体参数。由于我们的分析,1)我们验证了使用局部方法研究3D结构整体形状的可能性,2)我们提供了不同湍流状态下出现的局部磁配置的概述,3)我们表明,我们的3D-3V模拟可以重现Phan等人研究的MMS数据中出现的结构。(2018),Stawarz等人(2019)。

英文摘要:

In space and astrophysical plasmas turbulence leads to the development of coherent structures characterized by a strong current density and important magnetic shears. Using hybrid-kinetic simulations of turbulence (3D with different energy injection scales) we investigate the development of these coherent structures and characterize their shape. First, we present different methods to estimate the overall shape of the 3D structure using local measurements, foreseeing application on satellite data. Then we study the local magnetic configuration inside and outside current peak regions, comparing the statistics in the two cases. Last, we compare the statistical properties of the local configuration obtained in simulations with the ones obtained analyzing an MMS dataset having similar plasma parameters. Thanks to our analysis, 1) we validate the possibility to study the overall shape of 3D structures using local methods, 2) we provide an overview of local magnetic configuration emerging in different turbulent regimes, 3) we show that our 3D-3V simulations can reproduce the structures that emerge in MMS data for the periods studied by Phan et al. (2018), Stawarz et al. (2019).
