类太阳差自转

Generation solar-like differential rotation

H. Hotta, K. Kusano, R. Shimada

摘要:

我们分析了Hotta & Kusano,2021中再现了类似太阳的差异旋转的模拟结果。太阳的自转速度与快赤道和慢极的自转速度不同。人们普遍认为热对流维持了赤道的差异自转,但最近的高分辨率模拟往往不能再现快赤道。这一事实是太阳物理学中最大的问题之一的一个方面,称为对流难题。Hotta & Kusano,2021成功地再现了类似太阳的差异旋转,而不使用任何操纵,具有前所未有的高分辨率模拟。在这项研究中,我们分析了模拟数据,以了解快速赤道的维护机制。我们的分析得出的结论总结如下。1.超需求磁场是由压缩产生的,它可以间接地将大量的内能转化为磁能。2.有效的小尺度能量传输抑制了大尺度对流能量。3.非Taylor-Proudman微分旋转是由磁场增强的各向异性纬向能量输运引起的熵梯度维持的。4.快赤道是由麦克斯韦应力引起的纬向流维持的。麦克斯韦应力本身也在快速近地表赤道的角动量传输中发挥作用(我们称之为击球效应)。模拟中的快赤道不是由于低Rossby数区域而是由于强磁场而再现的。本研究新发现了磁场在维持差速自转中的作用。

英文摘要:

We analyze the simulation result shown in Hotta & Kusano, 2021 in which the solar-like differential rotation is reproduced. The Sun is rotating differentially with the fast equator and the slow pole. It is widely thought that the thermal convection maintains the differential rotation, but recent high-resolution simulations tend to fail to reproduce the fast equator. This fact is an aspect of one of the biggest problems in solar physics called the convective conundrum. Hotta & Kusano, 2021 succeed in reproducing the solar-like differential rotation without using any manipulation with unprecedentedly high-resolution simulation. In this study, we analyze the simulation data to understand the maintenance mechanism of the fast equator. Our analyses lead to conclusions that are summarized as follows. 1. Superequipatition magnetic field is generated by the compression, which can indirectly convert the massive internal energy to magnetic energy. 2. The efficient small-scale energy transport suppresses large-scale convection energy. 3. Non-Taylor--Proudman differential rotation is maintained by the entropy gradient caused by the anisotropic latitudinal energy transport enhanced by the magnetic field. 4. The fast equator is maintained by the meridional flow mainly caused by the Maxwell stress. The Maxwell stress itself also has a role in the angular momentum transport for fast near-surface equator (we call it the Punching ball effect). The fast equator in the simulation is reproduced not due to the low Rossby number regime but due to the strong magnetic field. This study newly finds the role of the magnetic field in the maintenance of differential rotation.
