AI总结:

本文提出考虑间歇性和阿尔芬波反射的强不平衡MHD湍流唯象模型,其谱斜率和标度指数预测与帕克太阳探测器观测吻合,并揭示反射驱动间歇性会增强小尺度平行波数,从而可能增加太阳风和日冕中的离子回旋加热。

摘要:

我们建立了一个强不平衡磁流体动力学(MHD)湍流的唯象模型,该模型考虑了间歇性以及由阿尔芬速度空间变化引起的阿尔芬波反射。我们的模型预测了惯性区Elsasser功率谱的斜率、高阶Elsasser结构函数的标度指数,以及涨落的平行(相对于磁场)长度尺度随垂直长度尺度的变化方式。这些预测与帕克太阳探测器(PSP)对太阳风湍流的测量结果吻合较好。与以往平衡MHD湍流中的间歇性模型不同,我们发现反射驱动的MHD湍流中的间歇性在小垂直长度尺度上增大了能量主导涨落的平行波数。这与我们模型所吻合的PSP测量结果一样,表明太阳风和日冕中的湍流可能导致比以前认识到的更多的离子回旋加热。

英文摘要:

We develop a phenomenological model of strong imbalanced magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence that accounts for intermittency and the reflection of Alfven waves by spatial variations in the Alfven speed. Our model predicts the slopes of the inertial-range Elsasser power spectra, the scaling exponents of the higher-order Elsasser structure functions, and the way in which the parallel (to the magnetic field) length scale of the fluctuations varies with the perpendicular length scale. These predictions agree reasonably well with measurements of solar-wind turbulence from the Parker Solar Probe (PSP). In contrast to previous models of intermittency in balanced MHD turbulence, we find that intermittency in reflection-driven MHD turbulence increases the parallel wave numbers of the energetically dominant fluctuations at small perpendicular length scales. This, like the PSP measurements with which our model agrees, suggests that turbulence in the solar wind and solar corona may lead to more ion cyclotron heating than previously realized.
