摘要:

电子惯性对由动力学湍流形成的电流片的影响,对于理解湍流中相干结构的重要性以及耗散尺度上湍流的本质具有重要意义。我们通过使用CHIEF代码执行衰减动力学湍流的3D混合动力学Particle-in-Cell(PIC)模拟来研究这一问题。该代码的主要显著特征是无近似地实现了电子惯性。我们的模拟结果表明,电子惯性在调节和限制实空间和波数Fourier空间中电流密度的最大值方面发挥着重要作用,特别是在电子尺度附近,甚至出乎意料地在电子尺度以上也是如此。此外,与电子惯性相关的电场主导了大多数最强的电流片。因此,电子惯性对于准确描述在电子尺度下湍流中形成的电流片的特性至关重要。

英文摘要:

The effects of the electron inertia on the current sheets that are formed out of kinetic turbulence are relevant to understand the importance of coherent structures in turbulence and the nature of turbulence at the dissipation scales. We investigate this problem by carrying out 3D hybrid-kinetic Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations of decaying kinetic turbulence with our CHIEF code. The main distinguishing feature of this code is an implementation of the electron inertia without approximations. Our simulation results show that the electron inertia plays an important role in regulating and limiting the largest values of current density in both real and wavenumber Fourier space, in particular near and, unexpectedly, even above electron scales. In addition, the electric field associated to the electron inertia dominates most of the strongest current sheets. The electron inertia is thus important to accurately describe the properties of current sheets formed in turbulence at electron scales.
