三维结构对磁重联的影响

Impact of 3D Structure on Magnetic Reconnection

Lars K. S. Daldorff, James E. Leake, James A. Klimchuk

摘要:

从2.5D和3D的撕裂不稳定性的发生和发展的研究结果,采用高保真电阻MHD模拟。进行了重连场(或剪切角)强度的有限参数研究。一个最初简单的1D平衡,包括一个修改的无力电流片,在所有方向上的周期性边界条件。在所有情况下,线性和非线性演化导致两个大通量绳之间的初级电流片。在所有模拟中分析了在该后期阶段期间的全局重连率。结果发现,在2.5D中,由于等离子体团,初级电流片碎裂,并且正如预期的那样,使用多种方法计算的全局重连率随着重连场的强度而增加,这是由于更强的阿尔文速度。在3D中,撕裂不稳定性的相互作用的斜模式的存在使简单的2.5D图像复杂化,使流入的磁场纠缠并对重联率产生负面影响。随着重联场强度的增加,更强的阿尔文速度和纠缠这两种竞争效应导致重联率随着重联场的增加而降低。对于所有模拟,3D速率小于2.5D,但表明当进入弱重连场(或强引导场)时,系统变得更像2.5D,并且2.5D和3D速率收敛。这些结果与日冕中的纳米耀斑加热和耀斑电流片等情况有关。

英文摘要:

Results from 2.5D and 3D studies of the onset and development of the tearing instability are presented, using high fidelity resistive MHD simulations. A limited parameter study of the strength of the reconnecting field (or shear angle) was performed. An initially simple 1D equilibrium was used, consisting of a modified force-free current sheet, with periodic boundary conditions in all directions. In all cases, the linear and non-linear evolution led to a primary current sheet between two large flux ropes. The global reconnection rate during this later stage was analyzed in all simulations. It was found that in 2.5D the primary current sheet fragmented due to plasmoids, and as expected, the global reconnection rate, calculated using multiple methods, increases with the strength of the reconnecting field due to a stronger Alfvén speed. In 3D, the presence of interacting oblique modes of the tearing instability complicates the simple 2.5D picture, entangling the magnetic field of the inflow and introducing a negative effect on the reconnection rate. The two competing effects of stronger Alfvén speed and entangling, which both increase with the strength of the reconnecting field, resulted in a decrease in the reconnection rate with increasing reconnecting field. For all simulations, the 3D rates were less than in 2.5D, but suggest that as one goes to weak reconnecting field (or strong guide field), the system becomes more 2.5D like and the 2.5D and 3D rates converge. These results have relevance to situations like nano-flare heating and flare current sheets in the corona.
