螺旋磁场作用下Taylor-Couette流中无感生磁旋转不稳定性的物理解释

Paradox of inductionless magnetorotational instability in a Taylor-Couette flow with a helical magnetic field

J. Priede, I. Grants, G. Gerbeth

摘要:

在无感近似下,考虑了具有螺旋形外磁场的流体动力学稳定Taylor-Couette流的磁旋转不稳定性(MRI),该近似由零磁普朗特数($\Pm=0)$)定义.这导致了一个相当大的简化的问题,最终只包含流体动力学变量。首先,我们指出,任何微扰的能量增长在磁场的存在下,必须增长得更快,没有外地。这是一个悖论,因为基流在没有磁场的情况下是稳定的,而在螺旋磁场的存在下是不稳定的,而不被后者改变,正如最近由Hollerbach和Rudiger发现的那样[Phys. Rev. Lett. 95,124501(2005)]。我们重新审视这个问题,通过使用Chebyshev配置方法来计算线性化问题的特征值谱。通过这种方式,我们证实,MRI与螺旋磁场确实工作在无电感的限制,不稳定的影响出现作为一个有效的移动的瑞利线。其次,我们对线性化方程进行了时间积分,研究了小振幅扰动的瞬态行为,从而表明能量参数也是正确的。然而,这两个事实之间并不存在真正的矛盾。线性稳定性理论预言了任意小振幅扰动的渐近发展,而能量稳定性理论给出了任何特定扰动的瞬时增长率,但它没有说明这种扰动的演化。

英文摘要:

We consider the magnetorotational instability (MRI) of a hydrodynamically stable Taylor-Couette flow with a helical external magnetic field in the inductionless approximation defined by a zero magnetic Prandtl number ($\Pm=0)$. This leads to a considerable simplification of the problem eventually containing only hydrodynamic variables. First, we point out that the energy of any perturbation growing in the presence of magnetic field has to grow faster without the field. This is a paradox because the base flow is stable without the magnetic while it is unstable in the presence of a helical magnetic field without being modified by the latter as it has been found recently by Hollerbach and Rudiger [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 124501 (2005)]. We revisit this problem by using a Chebyshev collocation method to calculate the eigenvalue spectrum of the linearized problem. In this way, we confirm that MRI with helical magnetic field indeed works in the inductionless limit where the destabilization effect appears as an effective shift of the Rayleigh line. Second, we integrate the linearized equations in time to study the transient behavior of small amplitude perturbations, thus showing that the energy arguments are correct as well. However, there is no real contradiction between both facts. The linear stability theory predicts the asymptotic development of an arbitrary small-amplitude perturbation, while the energy stability theory yields the instant growth rate of any particular perturbation, but it does not account for the evolution of this perturbation.
