The work of Ulmschneider (1970) on the effective thermal conductivity of partially ionized plasmas has been generalized to include the effects of magnetic fields. The contributions of electron, ion and neutral heat flows have been evaluated within the framework of the binary collision theory of Burgers (1960). In the temperature regime below 15000K and pressures of 106 dyn cm–2 excellent agreement is obtained with the results of Ulmschneider for the translational part of the non-magnetic thermal conductivity. For higher temperatures a systematic discrepancy of a factor of 2 arises due to the lower order approximation in the kinetic treatment of the electrons in Burgers' theory. It is shown that the neutral component dominates heat transport in a solar magnetoplasma even at temperatures as high as 15000K and that the magnetic modulations are of a secondary character. The application of the present theories to the sunspot models of Yun (1972) shows pronounced maxima in both electrical and thermal conductivities at the interface between umbra and penumbra.The research reported in this paper was sponsored by the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories, AFSC, under Contract F19628-70-C-0192-P00001, but the report does not necessarily reflect endorsement by the sponsor.  相似文献

This paper analyses the tensorial aspect of heat conduction which certainly becomes important for gravitationally stratified and rotating turbulent media. The structure of the eddy conductivity tensor is indeed a non-trivial one for turbulences with correlation times not too short in comparison with the rotation period. Since this situation may be realized in the solar convection zone, a more complex formulation of solar heat-flux problems is required rather than that with a scalar heat conductivity. We still neglect here all other energy transporters, i.e. radiation and meridional circulation, and treat a solar heat-flux problem with a heuristic mean-field ansatz of the eddy conductivity tensor. Its rotationally created latitude dependence always leads to a pole-equator surface temperature difference, which proves to be negligibly small, however, if realistic assumptions for the outward decrease of density and correlation time are involved. As a final rough estimation shows, this screening effect of the outer radiating surface should work for all late-type stars of the main sequence hence a “differential temperature” (in analogy to “differential rotation”) should not be expected for those stars.  相似文献

Williams et al. (1997) have suggested that a population of hot hydrogen atoms is created in the heliosphere through elastic H-H collisions between energetic `solar' atoms (neutralized solar wind) and interstellar atoms. They used a BGK-like approximation (Bhatnagar et al., 1954) for the Boltzmann collision term and the collision cross sections suggested by Dalgarno (1960). We show that both assumptions result in a significant overestimation of the the H-H collision effect. On the basis of calculated momentum transfer cross-sections for elastic H-H collisions, we argue that elastic H-H and H-p collisions cannot produce hot H atoms in the heliosphere. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

The electric currents induced in the atmosphere of a non-magnetic planet such as Venus by the interaction of the solar wind satisfy a generalized Ohm's Law relationship with tensor conductivity. The distribution of these currents within the planetary ionosphere may be calculated by a variational technique which minimizes the Joule heating over the ionospheric volume. In this paper, we present the development of the variational technique, and apply it to a model of the solar wind interaction with Venus.Potential and current distributions are shown, and the use of these distributions in determining convective transport patterns of planetary ions is discussed.  相似文献

The validity of the Chapman-Enskog method in the calculation of the heat conductivity of the solar wind is studied. The predictions of the Chapman-Enskog theory are compared with known results of rarefied gas kinetic theory. The results suggest that the use of the Chapman-Enskog theory to describe the transport processes in the solar wind is not strictly justified.  相似文献

The gravitation theory is considered in bimetric formulation with a Lagrangian of the most common type and quadratic with respect to the derivativesg ik/l of the metric tensor. Restrictions on the dimensionless parameters of the theory are found, basing on the comparison with the Newtonian theory and the analysis of corresponding observational data in the vicinity of the solar system. Propagation of the weak gravitation waves is investigated in the outside gravitational field.  相似文献

The current state of the theory of Jupiter's outer atmosphere is briefly reviewed. The similarities and dissimilarities between the terrestrial and Jovian upper atmospheres are discussed, including the interaction of the solar wind with the planetary magnetic fields. Estimates of Jovian parameters are given, including magnetosphere and auroral zone sizes, ionospheric conductivity, energy inputs, and solar wind parameters at Jupiter. The influence of the large centrifugal force on the cold plasma distribution is considered. The Jovian Van Alien belt is attributed to solar wind particles diffused in towards the planet by dynamo electric fields from ionospheric neutral winds and consequences of this theory are given.  相似文献

The circular polarization of radiation emitted from the solar type I- and IV mB-bursts and noise storms is not understood very well. For an attempted new explanation the dispersion equations for the ordinary (left-handed) and the extraordinary (right-handed) wave are derived from the well-known tensor conductivity of warm plasma proposing a very small angle between magnetic field and propagation direction, and the plasma parametersX1,Y1. Taking into account a plasma temperature different from zero, conditions of a coupling point (Budden, 1961) are attained very nearly even if the very small collision frequency is neglected. It is shown, that the observed ordinary (left-handed) polarization may be explained by a process of mode-coupling between the originally emitted extraordinary (right-handed) wave and the resulting ordinary wave. The source of the right-handed radiation may be gyro-radiation or erenkov-radiation. The proposed mechanism is in accordance with the main observational facts. It remains open, whether the known magnetic asymmetry of active regions accounts for the prevailing left-handed polarization.  相似文献

The functional dependence on solar wind parameters of the rate of energy transfer from the solar wind into the magnetosphere is subject to constraints imposed by dimensional analysis. The form and extent of the constraints depend on assumption about the energy coupling mechanisms, specifically on the relative importance of electromagnetic coupling (MHD flows effects), ionospheric conductivity effects (through Birkeland currents), and the viscous coupling. The effective viscosity coefficient scales in a well-defined manner with solar wind parameters, and its effect is dimensionally the same as that of more general finite-gyroradius mechanisms. We obtain the general form of the expression for energy transfer which takes all these effects into account and which can then be specialized to specific assumptions about the coupling mechanism. We point out the needed changes in energy transfer formulas previously used in the littrature, which make them conform to the requirements of dimensional analysis. Electromagnetic coupling yields the most restrictive formulas for energy transfer, although a unique expression cannot be obtained either on solely dimensional grounds or from presently available theory. Modifications required by the addition of viscous or finite-gyroradius effects are well defined but small and likely to be difficult to detect in practice. Assumptions of energy transfer by solar wind plasma entry leads to expressions equivalent, as far as dimensional arguments go, to those based on assumptions of electromagnetic or viscous coupling. Ionospheric conductivity effects are likely to be minor since Joule heating in the ionosphere is a relatively small fraction of the magnetospheric energy budget. All energy transfer formulas discussed presuppose a well-defined set of solar wind parameters and hence can be valid only on time scales longer than the solar wind flow time past the magnetosphere, which is also the expected time scale for energy storage (if any) in the magnetotail.  相似文献

A theory is presented for determining regions where planets may form in binary star systems. Planet formation by accretion is assumed possible if mean planetesimal collision velocities do not exceed a critical value. Collision velocities are increased by perturbations due to the companion star, treated by secular perturbation theory. Collision velocities are damped by aerodynamic drag within the solar nebula, taken as the linear case of Cameron and Pine.A general feature of planetary systems in binary stars is the existence of two zones. The inner zone has enough damping to permit unimpeded growth by accretion; in the outer zone, growth proceeds to a limited diameter, beyond which damping is insufficient. It is shown that the asteroids could not have failed to coalesce due to Jupiter perturbations in the primitive solar nebula. Binary star systems with semimajor axis < 30AU are not likely to have planets; these include Alpha Centauri and 70 Ophiuchi. Systems possibly possessing planets include Eta Cassiopeiae, 40 Eridani, and Σ 2398. Epsilon Eridani is a marginal case.  相似文献

The form of the solar radiation pressure on a heliocentric orbiting solar sail is obtained for a finite angular sized and limb darkened solar disk by the use of the radiation pressure tensor. It is found that the usual inverse square variation of the solar radiation pressure is modified by the finite angular size, and to a lesser extent by the solar limb darkening. The actual magnitude of the modification is in itself small, except at close heliocentric distances. However, its existence has implications for the dynamical stability of solar sails both in parked and circular orbital configurations and for the accuracy of trajectory calculations, particularly for sails in the inner solar system.  相似文献

In this paper we present results for a general system of transport equations appropriate to a multi-constituent gas mixture. This system includes a continuity, momentum, internal energy, pressure tensor and heat flow equation for each species. The results can be applied to both collision dominated and collisionless plasmas with there being explicit limits derived for the validity of the various expressions. In the limit of very frequent collisions the pressure tensor and heat flow equations give the usual Navier-Stokes results for the viscous stress tensor and heat flow vector. Furthermore, the momentum equation includes thermal diffusion and thermoelectric transport coefficients equivalent to the second approximation of Chapman and Cowling. The basic system of equations has been applied to different regions of the ionosphere and neutral atmosphere. It is found that: (1) The viscous stress tensor and heat flow expressions used in previous studies of the neutral thermosphere may not be appropriate; (2) The transport coefficients normally used for mid-latitude F2-region and topside studies seem to be adequate; (3) The high speed flow of plasma in the polar topside ionosphere is likely to be strongly affected by stresses and heat flow; and (4) E- and F-region ionization at high latitudes is substantially affected by stresses and heat flow.  相似文献

The components of the total stress tensor (Reynolds stress plus Maxwell stress) are computed within the quasilinear approximation for a driven turbulence influenced by a large‐scale magnetic background field. The conducting fluid has an arbitrary magnetic Prandtl number and the turbulence without the background field is assumed as homogeneous and isotropic with a free Strouhal number St. The total large‐scale magnetic tension is always reduced by the turbulence with the possibility of a ‘catastrophic quenching’ for large magnetic Reynolds number Rm so that even its sign is reversed. The total magnetic pressure is enhanced by turbulence in the high‐conductivity limit but it is reduced in the low‐conductivity limit. Also in this case the sign of the total pressure may reverse but only for special turbulences with sufficiently large St > 1. The turbulence‐induced terms of the stress tensor are suppressed by strong magnetic fields. For the tension term this quenching grows with the square of the Hartmann number of the magnetic field. For microscopic (i.e. small) diffusivity values the magnetic tension term becomes thus highly quenched even for field amplitudes much smaller than their equipartition value. In the opposite case of large‐eddy simulations the magnetic quenching is only mild but then also the turbulence‐induced Maxwell tensor components for weak fields remain rather small (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

In the experiment presently described (which is the continuation of our previous work) we studied the effect of low-frequency drift wave instability on Hall conductivity in plasma. Using an external oscillation we can affect the drift wave amplitude (mainly around resonance), and the variation on Hall conductivity is observed. The effect is probably to be attributed to electron trapping by the waves potential. Good agreement between experimental and calculated values of azimuthal drift currents near and away from resonance lead us to believe that the proposed explanation by electron trapping is correct.In addition, the interaction of plasma with the magnetic field is important in a large variety of astrophysical phenomena. A large class of solar and magnetospheric phenomena involve the conversion of stored magnetic energy to thermal and kinetic energy of the plasma with mechanism in which important role have the plasma's conductivity. Accordingly, this experimental work must be considered as a good laboratory simulation to solar plasma devices.  相似文献

Kuiper带天体的轨道动力学   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
主要评述太阳系动力学研究的一个新方向——Kuiper带的轨道动力学。早期的研究是为了探讨短周期彗星的起源。在发现第一颗Kuiper带小天体之后,人们开始将注意力转到Kuiper带共振区的相空间结构上,Morbidelli和Malhotra分别采用不同的模型研究了这些共振区的大小。其中主要研究对象是3:2共振区。冥王星也处在这一共振区中。从冥王星的轨道特性来看,冥王星应是一颗较大的Kuiper带天体,它还拥有另外两种共振——Kozai共振和1:1超级共振。正是由于这些共振的存在,冥王星的运动才得以长期保持稳定。观测表明许多Kuiper带天体也处的海王星的平运动共振中。早期的理论认为这些平运动共振起源于灾难性事件,如碰撞。然而这都是一些小概率事件,无法对共振的形成进行合理的解释。Malhotra通过行星迁移成功地解释了冥王星被共振俘获的机制。这一机制的概率非常大,同样可以用来解释Kuiper带天体共振的形成。  相似文献

The interaction of traveling fast solar shock waves with other fast shock waves generated previously is considered in terms of magnetohydrodynamics for various solar wind parameters. The shocks are not piston ones and move freely in the flow. The magnetic structure in the interplanetary magnetic field emerging after the shock interaction is shown to correspond to the well-known magnetic configuration commonly observed on spacecraft or the classical Hundhausen R model. A head-on collision of solar shock waves with the boundary of a magnetic cloud is considered. It is pointed out that a slow shockwave refracted into the magnetic cloud can appear at an oblique collision of the shock with the cloud boundary. The results clarify our understanding of the available spacecraft data.  相似文献

We calculate electric fields and currents in the ionosphere during the solar eclipse. Three dimensional anisotropic and inhomogeneous conductivity distribution is taken into consideration. Electrical conductivity is assumed to be decreased by the solar eclipse, but winds are not altered. It is shown that the additional currents and fields due to the eclipse are essentially understood as those generated by the obstruction to Sq currents. However, the currents flow preferably in the region nearer to the noon meridian and at the Equator and partly escape through the field-aligned currents to the opposite hemisphere, and therefore the effect of the solar eclipse is also seen in the opposite hemisphere in the deformed shape.  相似文献

It is show that axisymmetric stationary vacuum solutions of the general scalar tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Nordvedt and later discussed by Barker and others can be obtained from the solutions of the axisymmetric stationary Einstein vacuum fields and also from the axisymmetric static vacuum fields of the general scalar tensor theory. The scalar tensor analogue of the Kerr solution has been obtained.  相似文献
