摘要:

利用5种不同的2.5维动力学粒子模拟方法研究了外加引导场对磁重联类重联性质的影响。发现磁能谱在惯性范围内呈现出约-5/3的斜率,与引导场无关。相反,在惯性范围内的电场谱随着引导场而更加陡峭,并且接近-5/3的斜率。此外,谱分析的广义欧姆定律的不同条款进行,并发现是一致的PIC模拟湍流和MMS观测。最后,利用基于不可压霍尔磁流体力学的von-Kármán Howarth(vKH)方程研究了引导场对能量传递行为的影响。在惯性范围内具有恒定能量传递率的vKH方程的一般特征在所有模拟中是一致的。这表明重联中的能谱和能量转移的定性行为与湍流相似,表明重联从根本上涉及能量级联。

英文摘要:

The effect of an external guide field on the turbulence-like properties of magnetic reconnection is studied using five different 2.5D kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The magnetic energy spectrum is found to exhibit a slope of approximately -5/3 in the inertial range, independent of the guide field. On the contrary, the electric field spectrum, in the inertial range steepens more with the guide field and approaches a slope of -5/3. In addition, spectral analysis of the different terms of the generalized Ohm's law is performed and found to be consistent with PIC simulations of turbulence and MMS observations. Finally, guide field effect on the energy transfer behavior is examined using von-Kármán Howarth (vKH) equation based on incompressible Hall-MHD. The general characteristics of the vKH equation with constant rate of energy transfer in the inertial range, is consistent in all the simulations. This suggests that the qualitative behavior of energy spectrum, and energy transfer in reconnection is similar to that of turbulence, indicating that reconnection fundamentally involves an energy cascade.
