Using a finite elements method, the magnetohydrostatic equation in a non-isothermal atmosphere is solved. The result is similar to the case in an isothermal atmosphere (Su, 1985). It is found that at some critical amount of shearing a magnetic island is formed and then breaks out to form an open magnetic configuration in which tearing-mode instability may occur. As the gradient of longitudinal magnetic field at some lower solar corona level increases, shearing loops containing strong currents are formed and the critical magnetic shearing parameter at which the magnetic island occurs, gets larger. In such a case, a lot of magnetic free energy is not easily released. It may be accumulated in a small volume above the polarity inversion line. As magnetic shearing increases, the magnetic free energy gets larger, until the magnetic shearing parameter reaches a higher critical value, a sudden change in magnetic configuration occurs. Such conditions may lead to high-energy solar eruptive phenomenon.  相似文献

日珥的观测显示存在着强的磁场剪切分量,本文研究了剪切在日珥形成中的积极作用。首先计算一个二维偶极势场当脚根受对称剪切后产生怎样的物理现象。作了三种情形的数值模拟。计算表明产生蘑菇状流动是个普遍规律,在某些条件下将形成弧顶凹陷。为了说明蘑菇流的物理起因,我们探讨了演化初期的线性渐近解。保留一阶量下导出了剪切速度W_z和磁场剪切分量B_x的解析解,对二维流动V_x,V_y求出了近似解:流的振幅随时间指数增长。对于弧顶凹陷,给于了定性的说明:磁浮力-(1/c)J_xB_x和形变阻尼力(1/c)J_zB_x之间的相互作用导致弧预变平凹陷,并把剪切区磁力线打开成为开场。弧顶凹陷是形成日珥的重要条件。冕弧加热量的略微减小,产生初始的热不稳定性,在凹陷处物质凝聚温度降低,弧脚根处因色球受蒸发而流入的物质沿管上升进入弧顶陷阱,加剧了热不稳定性,物质进一步变密,温度再降,最终形成了日珥。  相似文献

We study the stability of poloidal magnetic fields anchored in a thin accretion disc. The two-dimensional hydrodynamics in the disc plane is followed by a grid-based numerical simulation including the vertically integrated magnetic forces. The three-dimensional magnetic field outside the disc is calculated in a potential field approximation from the magnetic flux density distribution in the disc. For uniformly rotating discs we confirm numerically the existence of the interchange instability as predicted by Spruit, Stehle & Papaloizou . In agreement with predictions from the shearing sheet model, discs with Keplerian rotation are found to be stabilized by the shear, as long as the contribution of magnetic forces to support against gravity is small. When this support becomes significant, we find a global instability which transports angular momentum outwardly and allows mass to accrete inwardly. The instability takes the form of a m =1 rotating 'crescent', reminiscent of the purely hydrodynamic non-linear instability previously found in pressure-supported discs. A model where the initial surface mass density Σ( r ) and B z ( r ) decrease with radius as power laws shows transient mass accretion during about six orbital periods, and settles into a state with surface density and field strength decreasing approximately exponentially with radius. We argue that this instability is likely to be the main angular momentum transport mechanism in discs with a poloidal magnetic field sufficiently strong to suppress magnetic turbulence. It may be especially relevant in jet-producing discs.  相似文献

The corresponding field configurations of the solar isothermal atmosphere obtained from a series of non-constant shearing magnetic fields after considering both the gravity and gas pressure are examined and compared. When the shearing magnetic field increases, magnetic islands will appear, followed by shearing, quasi-three-dimensional field structures approaching the open state and with almost anti-parallel field lines. It is possible that this is related to the initial phase of a two ribbon flare.  相似文献

Axisymmetric incompressible modes of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) with a vertical wavenumber are exact solutions of the non-linear local equations of motion for a disc (shearing box). They are referred to as 'channel solutions'. Here, we generalize a class of these solutions to include energy losses, viscous, and resistive effects. In the limit of zero shear, we recover the result that torsional Alfvén waves are exact solutions of the non-linear equations. Our method allows the extension of these solutions into the dissipative regime.
These new solutions serve as benchmarks for simulations including dissipation and energy loss, and to calibrate numerical viscosity and resistivity in the zeus3d code. We quantify the anisotropy of numerical dissipation and compute its scaling with time and space resolution. We find a strong dependence of the dissipation on the mean magnetic field that may affect the saturation state of the MRI as computed with zeus3d . It is also shown that elongated grid cells generally preclude isotropic dissipation and that a Courant time-step smaller than that which is commonly used should be taken to avoid spurious anti-diffusion of magnetic field.  相似文献

Equations governing the coupling of the scalar and vector potentials for a resistive electron-positron plasma in a strong magnetic field are derived. It is shown that in the presence of magnetic shear, a tearing instability may occur. The latter can lead to magnetic field line reconnection and the formation of magnetic islands which could affect the dynamics of the pulsar magnetosphere.  相似文献

The magnetorotational instability is investigated within the shearing box approximation in the large Elsasser number regime. In this regime, which is of fundamental importance to astrophysical accretion disk theory, shear is the dominant source of energy, but the instability itself requires the presence of a weaker vertical magnetic field. Dissipative effects are weaker still but not negligible. The regime explored retains the condition that (viscous and ohmic) dissipative forces do not play a role in the leading order linear instability mechanism. However, they are sufficiently large to permit a nonlinear feedback mechanism whereby the turbulent stresses generated by the MRI act on and modify the local background shear in the angular velocity profile. To date this response has been omitted in shearing box simulations and is captured by a reduced pde model derived here from the global MHD fluid equations using multiscale asymptotic perturbation theory. Results from numerical simulations of the reduced pde model indicate a linear phase of exponential growth followed by a nonlinear adjustment to algebraic growth and decay in the fluctuating quantities. Remarkably, the velocity and magnetic field correlations associated with these algebraic growth and decay laws conspire to achieve saturation of the angular momentum transport. The inclusion of subdominant ohmic dissipation arrests the algebraic growth of the fluctuations on a longer, dissipative time scale. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)  相似文献

We performed three dimensional resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulations to study the magnetic reconnection using an initially shearing magnetic field configuration(force free field with a current sheet in the middle of the computational box).It is shown that there are two types of reconnection jets:the ordinary reconnection jets and fan-shaped jets,which are formed along the guide magnetic field.The fan-shaped jets are significantly different from the ordinary reconnection jets which are ejected by magneti...  相似文献

Hydromagnetic planetary-gravity waves propagating on a β-plane through a zonal flow and transverse magnetic field are examined for instability. Such instabilities may be related to same physical phenomena in the atmospheres of the Sun and planets and in the Earth's core. It is found that the onset of instability depends on the directions of the vertical and transverse wave-numbers and the zonal flow. It is also shown that as the magnetic field intensity is kept uniform instability can onset provided that the zonal flow strength does not exceed a certain factor, which depends on the parameters of the medium, and then the zonal wavenumbers that can become unstable are limited to a given range. If the basic Alfvén wave speed is allowed to vary whereas the zonal flow is kept uniform the zonal wavenumbers that can exhibit instability are again limited but the basic Alfvén wave speed can assume any value.  相似文献

The subtle interactions between the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and transverse plasmons are investigated. It is shown that there is a resistive instability by the plasmon's soliton in a current sheet, which eventually turns into an eruptive instability at the magnetic field reconnection. In the case of ion-acoustic turbulence, the high temperature current sheet model must adopt the aromalous conductivity instead of the Coulomb conductivity. The numerical results are consistent with the observations obtained by Hanaoka (1994). Thus the flare caused by X-ray loop coalescence can be basically interpreted by this model of magnetic field reconnection driven by ponderomotive force.  相似文献

We present the local linear stability analysis of rotating jets confined by a toroidal magnetic field. Under the thin flux tube approximation, we derive the equation of motion for slender magnetic flux tubes. In addition to the terms responsible for the conventional instability of the toroidal magnetic field, a term related to the magnetic buoyancy and a term corresponding to the differential rotation become relevant for the stability properties. We find that the rigid rotation stabilizes while the differential rotational destabilizes the jet in a way similar to the Balbus–Hawley instability. Within the frame of our local analysis, we find that if the azimuthal velocity is of the order of or higher than the Alfvén azimuthal speed, the rigidly rotating part of the jet interior can be completely stabilized, while the strong shearing instability operates in the transition layer between the rotating jet interior and the external medium. This can explain the limb-brightening effect observed in several jets. However, it is still possible to find jet equilibria that are stable all across the jet, even in the presence of differential rotation. We discuss observational consequences of these results.  相似文献

A body moving in an ionized atmosphere acquires an electric charge through the processes of accretion of charged particles and emission of electrons by high energy photons. The moving charged body may then interact with the charged particles of the atmosphere and any pervading magnetic field to excite plasma waves. Of particular interest is the situation in which the body collects an ionized cloud in front of it. The motion of this ionized cloud in the atmosphere induces an electrostatic instability and causes a column of ionized gas to move ahead of the body. The electrostatic instability is conducive to the excitation of electrostatic oscillations which if already present are further enhanced. A magnetic field along the direction of motion assists in the formation of the ionized cloud. If the pervading magnetic field is of suitable weak strength, it may excite extraordinary electromagnetic waves. A pervading transverse magnetic field of suitable strength may cause the excitation of magnetohydrodynamic waves.  相似文献

The observed structural periodicities in quiescent prominences and filaments are examined in terms of the instability of a plasma supported by a magnetic field against gravity. It is suggested that the spacing of arch-like structures may be identified with the most unstable wavelength of the interface between the prominence and the supporting magnetic field. The results of analysis further suggest that the observed spacing of periodic structures corresponds to the supporting magnetic field which lies at an angle 90° to 60° with respect to the long axis of the prominence.  相似文献

It is shown analytically that self-generated magnetic fields are modulationally unstable with respect to the uniform state of a plasma; such an instability would localize the magnetic field. This localized magnetic flux may well produce small-scale intermittent magnetic fields in coronal active regions or solar flares.  相似文献

A model of ‘disparitions brusques’ (sudden disappearence of eruptive prominences) is discussed based on the Kippenhahn ans Schlüter configuration. It is shown that Kippenhahn and Schlüter's current sheet is very weakly unstable against magnetic reconnecting modes during the lifetime of quiescent prominences. Disturbances in the form of fast magnetosonic waves originating from nearby active regions or the changes of whole magnetic configuration due to newly emerged magnetic flux may trigger a rapid growing instability associated with magnetic field reconnection. This instability gives rise to disruptions of quiescent prominences and also generates high energy particles.  相似文献

The ordered magnetic field observed via polarised synchrotron emission in nearby disc galaxies can be explained by a mean‐field dynamo operating in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM). Additionally, vertical‐flux initial conditions are potentially able to influence this dynamo via the occurrence of the magnetorotational instability (MRI). We aim to study the influence of various initial field configurations on the saturated state of the mean‐field dynamo. This is motivated by the observation that different saturation behaviour was previously obtained for different supernova rates. We perform direct numerical simulations (DNS) of three‐dimensional local boxes of the vertically stratified, turbulent interstellar medium, employing shearing‐periodic boundary conditions horizontally. Unlike in our previous work, we also impose a vertical seed magnetic field. We run the simulations until the growth of the magnetic energy becomes negligible. We furthermore perform simulations of equivalent 1D dynamo models, with an algebraic quenching mechanism for the dynamo coefficients. We compare the saturation of the magnetic field in the DNS with the algebraic quenching of a mean‐field dynamo. The final magnetic field strength found in the direct simulation is in excellent agreement with a quenched α) dynamo. For supernova rates representative of the Milky Way, field losses via a Galactic wind are likely responsible for saturation. We conclude that the relative strength of the turbulent and regular magnetic fields in spiral galaxies may depend on the galaxy's star formation rate. We propose that a mean field approach with algebraic quenching may serve as a simple sub‐grid scale model for galaxy evolution simulations including a prescribed feedback from magnetic fields.

The problem of contrastreaming instability in collisionless anisotropic plasmas is investigated both for electrostatic and electromagnetic perturbations propagatingalong the ambient magnetic field. Both electron-electron and ion-ion streams are considered. It is found that the electromagnetic instability may, under certain conditions, be characterised by larger growth rates than the electrostatic instability.  相似文献

Ap star magnetism is often attributed to fossil magnetic fields which have not changed much since the pre‐main‐sequence epoch of the stars. Stable magnetic field configurations are known which could persist probably for the entire mainsequence life of the star, but they may not show the complexity and diversity exhibited by the Ap stars observed. We suggest that the Ap star magnetism is not a result of stable configurations, but is the result of an instability based on strong toroidal magnetic fields buried in the stars. The highly nonaxisymmetric remainders of the instability are reminiscent of the diversity of fields seen on Ap stars. The strengths of these remnant magnetic fields are actually between a few per cent up to considerable fractions of the internal toroidal field; this means field strengths of the order of kGauss being compatible with what is observed. The magnetic fields emerge at the surface rather quickly; rough estimates deliver time‐scales of the order of a few years. Since rotation stabilizes the instability, normal A stars may still host considerable, invisible toroidal magnetic fields (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)  相似文献
