摘要:

我们利用伪谱代码研究了在电阻磁流体动力学框架中触发形成电流片中等离子体体不稳定性条件,应用于伦琴数S≈10^5的奥萨格-坦 vortex。通过电流密度功率谱E_J(k)和涡度谱E_ω(k)评估模拟收敛性,并证明该诊断在存在物理等离子体体时仍有效。我们展示当三个条件同时满足时,物理等离子体体可在高分辨率谱模拟中被触发:扰动在最大电流密度时间附近施加,幅度超过临界阈值ε_c≈10^-5,且包含不稳定波数。通过连续噪声注入验证,结果在幅度低一个到两个数量级时相似。所得增长速率和等离子体体数量与Comisso等(2017)理论一致,解决了García Morillo & Alexakis(2025)提出的明显矛盾,并澄清了数值噪声在触发等离子体体不稳定性中的作用。

英文摘要:

We investigate the conditions for triggering the plasmoid instability in a dynamically forming current sheet in the resistive magnetohydrodynamic framework, using a pseudo-spectral code applied to the Orszag-Tang vortex at Lundquist number $S \sim 10^5$. Following García Morillo \& Alexakis (2025), we use the power spectrum of the current density $E_J(k)$, complemented by the vorticity spectrum $E_ω(k)$, to assess the convergence of our simulations, and show that this diagnostic remains valid even in the presence of physical plasmoids, allowing us to unambiguously distinguish them from spurious ones. We then show that physical plasmoids can be triggered in a well-resolved spectral simulation when three conditions are simultaneously met: a perturbation applied near the time of maximum current density, with amplitude above a critical threshold $\varepsilon_c \sim 10^{-5}$ for our numerical scheme, and with spectral content containing the unstable wavenumbers. These conditions are confirmed using continuous noise injection, which yields similar results at amplitudes one to two orders of magnitude lower. The resulting growth rates and plasmoid numbers are in good agreement with the theory of \citet{Comisso2017}. These results resolve the apparent paradox raised by García Morillo \& Alexakis (2025) and also clarify the role of numerical noise in the triggering of the plasmoid instability.
