AI总结:

本文通过2.5维理想MHD模拟研究日珥中瑞利-泰勒不稳定性的非线性湍流演化,发现各向异性湍流、惯性区幂律标度及间歇性多重分形特征,并将其与宁静日珥观测特征直接关联。

摘要:

太阳日珥代表悬浮在太阳大气中、对抗重力的大尺度凝聚体。瑞利-泰勒(RT)不稳定性被认为是这些位于日冕中的长寿命、低温且致密结构内部在多个空间和时间尺度上产生动力学的重要基本过程之一。我们使用开源的MPI-AMRVAC代码运行2.5维理想磁流体动力学(MHD)模拟,深入研究了在日珥-日冕界面处受到扰动的RT不稳定性的非线性演化。我们的模拟在大小为30 Mm×30 Mm的二维(x,y)域上实现了低至约23 km的分辨率。我们追踪了不稳定性从多模线性扰动过渡到其非线性、完全湍流状态的过程。在随后的约25分钟时间段内,我们以约0.858秒的采样间隔对日珥进行了统计分析。我们发现主导的引导磁场B_z分量主要在垂直速度V_y分量中诱导出相干结构形成,这与观测结果一致,证明了我们模拟的日珥内部存在各向异性湍流状态。我们发现速度场、磁场和温度场在惯性区内呈现幂律标度。间歇性的存在从场涨落的概率密度函数中可以明显看出,随着我们考虑越来越小的尺度,这些函数偏离高斯性。与此精确一致,高阶结构函数除了揭示纵向和横向方向之间不同的尺度特征和行为之外,还量化了多重分形性。因此,这些统计结果与先前观测研究的结论保持一致,使我们能够直接将RT不稳定性与宁静日珥中发现的湍流特征联系起来。

英文摘要:

Solar prominences represent large-scale condensations suspended against gravity within the solar atmosphere. The Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability is proposed to be one of the important fundamental processes leading to the generation of dynamics at many spatial and temporal scales within these long-lived, cool, and dense structures amongst the solar corona. We run 2.5D ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations with the open-source MPI-AMRVAC code far into the nonlinear evolution of an RT instability perturbed at the prominence-corona interface. Our simulation achieves a resolution down to $\sim 23$ km on a 2D $(x,y)$ domain of size 30 Mm $\times$ 30 Mm. We follow the instability transitioning from a multi-mode linear perturbation to its nonlinear, fully turbulent state. Over the succeeding $\sim 25$ minute period, we perform a statistical analysis of the prominence at a cadence of $\sim 0.858$ s. We find the dominant guiding $B_z$ component induces coherent structure formation predominantly in the vertical velocity $V_y$ component, consistent with observations, demonstrating an anisotropic turbulence state within our prominence. We find power-law scalings in the inertial range for the velocity, magnetic, and temperature fields. The presence of intermittency is evident from the probability density functions of the field fluctuations, which depart from Gaussianity as we consider smaller and smaller scales. In exact agreement, the higher-order structure functions quantify the multifractality, in addition to different scale characteristics and behavior between the longitudinal and transverse directions. Thus, the statistics remain consistent with the conclusions from previous observational studies, enabling us to directly relate the RT instability to the turbulent characteristics found within quiescent prominence.
