Cooling driven coagulation

Max Gronke, S. Peng Oh

AI总结:

本文通过二维和三维流体动力学模拟及解析模型,揭示受扰冷气云的冷却脉动与热气体裹挟如何驱动冷滴并合,并提出以表面积为“单极子”的类引力平方反比相互作用。

摘要:

星际介质、星系周介质或星系团内介质等天体物理气体通常是多相的,这提出了这些系统结构如何形成的问题。尽管已知有许多过程会导致嵌于(湍流)热介质中的冷气体发生碎裂,但在本工作中,我们关注相反的过程:并合。这在风洞和剪切层模拟中经常可见,其中冷气体碎块会自发合并。利用二维和三维流体动力学模拟,我们发现足够大(远大于 c_s t_cool)且受扰动的冷气云会产生脉动,从而确保冷气体在很长一段时间(远大于 r/c_s)内实现质量增长。这种质量增长有效地加速了热气体,而热气体反过来又能裹挟冷滴,导致并合。冷气体滴之间具有吸引力的平方反比力与引力存在有趣的相似之处;其“单极子”是表面积而非质量。我们建立了一个简单的解析模型,能够再现我们的数值发现。

英文摘要:

Astrophysical gases such as the interstellar-, circumgalactic- or intracluster-medium are commonly multiphase, which poses the question of the structure of these systems. While there are many known processes leading to fragmentation of cold gas embedded in a (turbulent) hot medium, in this work, we focus on the reverse process: coagulation. This is often seen in wind-tunnel and shearing layer simulations, where cold gas fragments spontaneously coalesce. Using 2D and 3D hydrodynamical simulations, we find that sufficiently large ($\gg c_{\rm s} t_{\rm cool}$), perturbed cold gas clouds develop pulsations which ensure cold gas mass growth over an extended period of time ($\gg r / c_{\rm s}$). This mass growth efficiently accelerates hot gas which in turn can entrain cold droplets, leading to coagulation. The attractive inverse square force between cold gas droplets has interesting parallels with gravity; the `monopole' is surface area rather than mass. We develop a simple analytic model which reproduces our numerical findings.
