摘要：
我们采用非理想MHD（磁流体动力学）三维模拟，对垂直分层的等温气体中的帕克不稳定性进行建模。旋转（尤其是较差旋转）对非线性阶段的影响比线性阶段更强烈且更多样化，在线性阶段我们证实了解析模型的最重要结论，且旋转的影响比任何线性分析预测的都要强。稳态下的磁场强度高于同类非旋转系统，宇宙射线能量密度也更高。由非线性不稳定性引发的瞬态气体外流在旋转条件下持续时间更长，约为20亿年。分层与（较差）旋转相结合会驱动螺旋流，进而产生平均场发电机。因此，尽管线性不稳定性和发电机均为非振荡性的，非线性状态却呈现振荡特征。中平面附近的水平磁场会反转方向，并随着反转磁场的浮力扩散向更高高度传播。大尺度磁场的空间分布模式可以解释侧向星系NGC 4631晕中交替的磁场方向。我们的模型是首个能产生与此类观测相似的大尺度磁结构的模型。此外，我们的模拟显示，磁驱动流的平均运动螺旋度符号与传统非磁流中的相反。这对旋涡星系星冕中发电机作用的本质和大尺度磁场结构具有深远影响，这些影响仍有待系统探索和理解。我们还发现，在约1千秒差距的尺度上，宇宙射线能量密度与磁场强度不存在相关性。
英文摘要：
We model the Parker instability in vertically stratified isothermal gas using non-ideal MHD three-dimensional simulations. Rotation, especially differential, more strongly and diversely affects the nonlinear state than the linear stage (where we confirm the most important conclusions of analytical models), and stronger than any linear analyses predict. Steady state magnetic fields are stronger and cosmic ray energy density higher than in comparable nonrotating systems. Transient gas outflows induced by the nonlinear instability persist longer, of order 2 Gyr, with rotation. Stratification combined with (differential) rotation drives helical flows, leading to mean-field dynamo. Consequently, the nonlinear state becomes oscillatory (while both the linear instability and the dynamo are non-oscillatory). The horizontal magnetic field near the midplane reverses its direction propagating to higher altitudes as the reversed field spreads buoyantly. The spatial pattern of the large-scale magnetic field may explain the alternating magnetic field directions in the halo of the edge-on galaxy NGC 4631. Our model is unique in producing a large-scale magnetic structure similar to such observation. Furthermore, our simulations show that the mean kinetic helicity of the magnetically driven flows has the sign opposite to that in the conventional non-magnetic flows. This has profound consequences for the nature of the dynamo action and large-scale magnetic field structure in the coronae of spiral galaxies which remain to be systematically explored and understood. We show that the energy density of cosmic rays and magnetic field strength are not correlated at scales of order a kiloparsec.
