闭合日冕结构中的驻横波作为能量耗散的可能途径已被广泛研究，其中共振吸收将扭波能量转移至局地阿尔文运动，而开尔文-亥姆霍兹不稳定性（KHI）会加速小耗散尺度的形成。然而，长期以来学界普遍认为传播型阿尔文波会抑制KHI，因此尚不清楚相同机制是否适用于开放日冕。在磁流体动力学（MHD）框架下，我们对从色球层延伸至日冕的重力分层开放通量管中的边界驱动扭波开展三维MHD模拟。研究发现，开放磁结构中的传播波也能驱动系统进入湍流状态，且在通量管边界可清晰识别出KH涡旋。这是因为共振吸收将能量从传播扭波转移至通量管边界附近的方位阿尔文运动，而阿尔文速度梯度对波的反射使这些边界运动获得局地驻波特征。我们的研究为长期存在的问题提供了可能答案：开放磁结构中的传播波尽管具有全局传播特性，却能产生非线性湍流精细结构，且明确了其发生机制。
英文摘要
Standing transverse waves in closed coronal structures have been widely studied as a possible route to energy dissipation, with resonant absorption transferring kink wave energy to localized Alfvénic motions and the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) accelerating the formation of small dissipative scales. However, it remains unclear whether the same mechanism applies to the open corona, given the long-standing consensus that the KHI tends to be prohibited for propagating Alfvénic waves. Within the framework of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), we perform three-dimensional MHD simulations of boundary-driven kink waves in a gravitationally stratified open flux tube extending from the chromosphere into the corona. We find that propagating waves in open magnetic structures can also drive the system toward a turbulent state, with KH vortices clearly identifiable across the flux tube. This occurs because resonant absorption transfers energy from the propagating kink waves to azimuthal Alfvénic motions near the tube boundary, and wave reflection off the gradient of the Alfvén speed subsequently enables these boundary motions to acquire a locally standing character. Our results provide a possible answer to the long-standing question of whether and how propagating waves in open magnetic structures can generate nonlinear turbulent fine structures despite their globally propagating nature.
