外原行星盘中的Turbulence:MRI还是VSI?

Turbulence in outer protoplanetary disks: MRI or VSI?

Can Cui, Xue-Ning Bai

摘要:

外原行星盘(PPD)易发生磁旋转不稳定性(MRI)和垂直剪切不稳定性(VSI)。虽然这两个过程都可以驱动盘中的湍流,但现有的数值模拟已经分别研究了它们。在本文中,我们进行了全球三维非理想磁流体动力学(MHD)模拟的双极扩散和瞬时冷却的外部PPD,因此有助于这两个不稳定性。考虑到双极Elsässer数($Am$)的范围,发现当双极扩散较强($Am=0.1$)时,VSI湍流在MRI上占主导地位;对于$Am=1$,VSI和MRI可以共存;当双极扩散较弱($Am=10$)时,VSI被MRI压倒。角动量输运过程主要是由MHD风驱动的,而由MRI和/或VSI湍流引起的粘性吸积在大多数情况下也有一定的贡献。在强双极扩散主导的磁盘($Am\leq1$)与VSI的存在下,自发磁通量的集中和形成的环形子结构仍然强大。双极扩散是磁通量集中现象的主要贡献者,而不是平流。

英文摘要:

The outer protoplanetary disks (PPDs) can be subject to the magnetorotational instability (MRI) and the vertical shear instability (VSI). While both processes can drive turbulence in the disk, existing numerical simulations have studied them separately. In this paper, we conduct global 3D non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations for outer PPDs with ambipolar diffusion and instantaneous cooling, and hence conductive to both instabilities. Given the range of ambipolar Elsässer numbers ($Am$) explored, it is found that the VSI turbulence dominates over the MRI when ambipolar diffusion is strong ($Am=0.1$); the VSI and MRI can co-exist for $Am=1$; and the VSI is overwhelmed by the MRI when ambipolar diffusion is weak ($Am=10$). Angular momentum transport process is primarily driven by MHD winds, while viscous accretion due to MRI and/or VSI turbulence makes a moderate contribution in most cases. Spontaneous magnetic flux concentration and formation of annular substructures remain robust in strong ambipolar diffusion dominated disks ($Am\leq1$) with the presence of the VSI. Ambipolar diffusion is the major contributor to the magnetic flux concentration phenomenon rather than advection.
