通过参数不稳定性研究原行星盘中VSI的饱和

The saturation of the VSI in protoplanetary disks via parametric instability

Can Cui, Henrik Latter

摘要:

垂直切变不稳定性(VSI)是辐照原行星盘(PPD)中一种强而潜在的重要现象,但其饱和机制仍知之甚少。全球模拟表明,VSI的非线性演变主要是由径向传播的惯性波列(称为“体模”),但这些都是已知的参数不稳定性敏感。在本文中,我们提出,全球VSI饱和通过这种二次不稳定性,这引发了一个重新分配的能量从大尺度到小尺度的惯性波,并最终进入湍流级联。我们提出了一个分析理论的不稳定性在一个简单的理想化模型,捕捉主要的物理和数学细节的问题。此外,我们进行数值模拟与SNOOPY代码,以巩固理论。一旦参数不稳定性占上风,VSI可能比当前全球模拟所显示的更加无序和不相干。我们还认为,这是具有挑战性的捕捉参数不稳定性的全球模拟,除非径向分辨率是非常好的,可能$\sim 300$网格单元每尺度高度半径。

英文摘要:

The vertical shear instability (VSI) is a robust and potentially important phenomenon in irradiated protoplanetary disks (PPDs), yet the mechanism by which it saturates remains poorly understood. Global simulations suggest that the non-linear evolution of the VSI is dominated by radially propagating inertial wavetrains (called `body modes'), but these are known to be susceptible to a parametric instability. In this paper, we propose that the global VSI saturates via this secondary instability, which initiates a redistribution of energy from the large scales to smaller-scale inertial waves, and finally into a turbulent cascade. We present an analytic theory of the instability in a simple idealised model that captures the main physical and mathematical details of the problem. In addition, we conduct numerical simulations with the SNOOPY code to consolidate the theory. Once the parametric instability prevails, the VSI is likely far more disordered and incoherent than current global simulations suggest. We also argue that it is challenging to capture parametric instability in global simulations unless the radial resolution is very fine, possibly $\sim 300$ grid cells per scale height in radius.
