摘要:

近年来,全球日冕模型作为预测太阳天气的工具越来越受欢迎。在高达21.5Rsun的范围内,磁流体动力学(MHD)被用来解决日冕结构使用磁图作为输入在太阳表面。理想的情况是,每次更新太阳磁迹图时都要重复这些计算,以便用于欧空局建模和数据分析工作组的磁连通性工具(http://connect-tool.irap.omp.eu/)。因此,至关重要的是,这些结果既准确又有效。虽然已经发表了许多工作,显示这些模型的结果与观测相比,但没有多少讨论实现这些结果所需的复杂数值调整。这些范围从边界条件公式的细节到大到磁场和速度之间的平行性的调整。在理想磁流体力学中,由于忽略了电场,对物理过程的描述可能不充分,并可能导致过度扩散和不正确的轮廓。我们制定内边界条件,连同其他技术,减少人工电场的产生。此外,我们研究了不同的外边界条件配方和网格设计如何影响结果和收敛性,特别关注的密度和径向分量的B-场。以2008年日食为例,说明了真实磁图驱动模拟准确性的显著提高。

英文摘要:

In the recent years, global coronal models have experienced an ongoing increase in popularity as tools for forecasting solar weather. Within the domain of up to 21.5Rsun, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is used to resolve the coronal structure using magnetograms as inputs at the solar surface. Ideally, these computations would be repeated with every update of the solar magnetogram so that they could be used in the ESA Modelling and Data Analysis Working Group (MADAWG) magnetic connectivity tool (http://connect-tool.irap.omp.eu/). Thus, it is crucial that these results are both accurate and efficient. While much work has been published showing the results of these models in comparison with observations, not many of it discusses the intricate numerical adjustments required to achieve these results. These range from details of boundary condition formulations to adjustments as large as enforcing parallelism between the magnetic field and velocity. By omitting the electric field in ideal-MHD, the description of the physics can be insufficient and may lead to excessive diffusion and incorrect profiles. We formulate inner boundary conditions which, along with other techniques, reduce artificial electric field generation. Moreover, we investigate how different outer boundary condition formulations and grid design affect the results and convergence, with special focus on the density and the radial component of the B-field. The significant improvement in accuracy of real magnetic map-driven simulations is illustrated for an example of the 2008 eclipse.
