摘要：
共振拖曳不稳定性（RDIs）是一种新型的尘埃/流体不稳定性，与多种天体物理环境相关。它们由流体中流体与波的共振相互作用驱动，导致尘埃密度波动和波的放大。这一广泛类别的不稳定性包括最近提出的包含声波和磁流体动力学波的模式，以及已研究的盘流不稳定性。由于RDIs的研究仍处于早期阶段，其在非线性区域的演变尚不明确。为了在非线性理论方面取得进展，我们进行了最简单的案例——声学RDI的模拟，其中气体中的声波通过超音速流体尘埃的相互作用而被放大。这种不稳定性因其在各种非电离环境中可能的相关性以及其与快速磁音速RDI的相似性而受到关注。我们发现，不稳定性非线性增长和饱和由不稳定性增长时间尺度与湍流涡旋翻转时间尺度之间的平衡所特征化。模拟显示了一个具有各向异性外强迫范围的饱和状态，在该范围内这种平衡得以维持，并建议在该尺度以下存在各向同性的湍流惯性范围。通过提出声学RDI非线性增长和饱和状态的模型，本工作为进一步研究此类及其他RDIs的非线性行为提供了框架。
英文摘要：
Resonant drag instabilities (RDIs) are a novel type of dust/fluid instability relevant to a diverse range of astrophysical environments. They are driven by a resonant interaction between streaming dust and waves in a background medium, which results in dust density fluctuations and amplification of the waves. This broad class of instabilities includes recently-proposed modes incorporating acoustic and magnetohydrodynamic waves, as well as the well-studied disk streaming instability. As the study of RDIs is at an early stage, their evolution beyond the linear regime is not well understood. In order to make inroads into the nonlinear theory of RDIs, we performed simulations of the simplest case, the acoustic RDI, in which sound waves in a gas are amplified by interaction with supersonically streaming dust. This particular instability is of interest both due its potential relevance in various poorly ionized environments, and due to its resemblance to the fast magnetosonic RDI. We find that the nonlinear growth and saturation of the instability are characterized by a balance between time scales of instability growth and turbulent eddy turnover. The simulations demonstrate a saturated state possessing an anisotropic outer forcing range in which this balance is maintained, and suggest the presence of an isotropic turbulent inertial range below this scale. By presenting a model for the nonlinear growth and saturated state of the acoustic RDI, this work provides a framework for further study of the nonlinear behavior of this and other RDIs.
