AI 中文摘要
我们研究旋转磁化流体天体（如小质量恒星和巨行星）对流包层中的潮汐流。在充分混合的对流区，（磁）惯性波会被潮汐力线性激发，其耗散是导致许多密近恒星-行星系统和双星系统中自旋与轨道演化的主要因素。我们对潮汐力作用下旋转不可压缩黏性非理想磁化流体的球壳几何结构进行了潮汐波的线性磁流体动力学计算，所考虑的磁场构型范围为迄今最广，包括对齐与不对齐偶极场、自由衰减偶极场与四极场、方位向“Malkus场”以及混合极向-环向“Prendergast场”，旨在分析磁场对潮汐波响应与耗散的影响。我们发现，给定频率下的潮汐响应强烈依赖于磁场强度与几何结构；具有强极向分量的磁场能更有效地改变流场，并引入与弱阻尼本征模相关的高频阿尔文共振。当采用增强的（湍流）黏性时，我们发现强磁场下的黏性耗散与欧姆耗散相当，这与此前认为欧姆耗散占主导的研究结果不同。我们还探讨了壳层厚度、磁普朗特数与埃克曼数变化时磁效应的改变情况。最后，多数情况下频率平均的潮汐功率对磁场基本不敏感，但自由衰减场会产生显著偏差。我们的结果对磁化旋转恒星与行星的潮汐演化具有重要意义。
英文摘要
We study tidal flows in the convective envelopes of rotating, magnetised fluid bodies, such as low-mass stars and giant planets. In well-mixed convective regions, (magneto-)inertial waves are linearly excited by tidal forcing, and their dissipation can dominantly drive spin and orbital evolution in many close star-planet and binary star systems. We perform linear magnetohydrodynamic calculations of wavelike tides in spherical-shell geometry of a tidally-forced, rotating, incompressible, viscous and non-ideal magnetised fluid. Our calculations consider the widest range of magnetic field configurations to date (including both aligned and misaligned dipole fields, free-decay dipole and quadrupole fields, azimuthal "Malkus fields" and mixed poloidal-toroidal "Prendergast fields") to analyse the effects of magnetic fields on the wavelike response and dissipation. We find that the tidal response at a given frequency depends strongly on both magnetic field strength and geometry. Magnetic fields with strong poloidal components modify the flow more efficiently and introduce high-frequency Alfvénic resonances associated with weakly damped eigenmodes. When an enhanced (turbulent) viscosity is adopted, we find that viscous dissipation remains comparable to Ohmic dissipation for strong fields, in contrast to previous studies in which Ohmic dissipation was argued to dominate. We also explore the variation in magnetic effects as the shell thickness, magnetic Prandtl and Ekman numbers are varied. Finally, the frequency-averaged tidal power is found to be largely insensitive to the magnetic field in most cases, though significant deviations are found for free-decay fields. Our results have important implications for the tidal evolution of magnetised, rotating stars and planets.
