The problem of steady expansion of the solar wind is investigated allowing for heating and cooling mechanism in the medium. Single fluid equations are employed, neglecting viscosity and magnetic fields. It is found that the flow characteristics are modified in the regions near the Sun though the location of the critical point and the flow speeds beyond it are unaffected. It is surmised that the solar wind must originate at higher levels if it is subject to a heat-loss due to bremsstrahlung. 相似文献

On the solar wind's penetration into an atmosphere of hydrogen or helium, symmetric charge exchange interactions give energy and momentum losses as the dominant source terms in the flow equations. One-dimensional, supersonic to subsonic solutions are available if the cooling is strong enough. In a model with transverse field and adiabatic (non-thermal) ions, a range of weakly-shocked solutions with upstream mach number less than 2.5 are discovered. As in the case of detonation waves, the shock strength is independent of downstream boundary conditions. The solutions may apply in the solar wind flow into the Venusian atmosphere. 相似文献

The time dependent one dimensional hydrodynamic equations describe the evolution of the thermal plasma flow along closed magnetic field lines outside of the plasmasphere. The convection of the supersonic polar wind onto a closed field line results in the assumed formation of collisionless plasma shocks. These shocks move earthward as the field line with its ‘frozen-in’ plasma remains fixed or contracts with time to smaller L coordinates. The high equatorial plasma temperature (of the order of electron volts) produced by the shock process decreases with time if the flow is isothermal but it will increase if the contraction is under adiabatic conditions. Assuming adiabaticity a peak in the temperature forms at the equator in conjunction with a depression in the ion density. After an initial contraction, if the flux tube drifts to higher L coordinates the direction of the shock motion can be reversed so that the supersonic region will expand along the field line towards the state characterizing the supersonic polar wind. A rapid expansion will lower the equatorial density while the temperature decreases with time under adiabatic but not isothermal conditions. 相似文献

We have compared solutions obtained from the bi-Maxwellian based 16-moment transport equations with those obtained from the Maxwellian based 13-moment transport equations for conditions leading to the steady state, subsonic flow of a fully-ionized electron-proton plasma along geomagnetic field lines in the vicinity of the plasmapause. The bi-Maxwellian based equations can account for large temperature anisotropies and the flow of both parallel and perpendicular thermal energy, while the Maxwellian based equations account for small temperature anisotropies and only the total heat flow. Our comparison indicates that for Stable Auroral Red arc (SAR-arc) conditions leading to strong field-aligned heat flows (temperatures of 8000 K and temperature gradients of4K. km−1 at 1500 km), the bi-Maxwellian based equations predict a different thermal structure in the topside ionosphere than the less rigorous Maxwellian based equations. In particular, the bi-Maxwellian based equations predict proton and electron temperature anisotropies with T > T, while the Maxwellian based equations predict the opposite behavior for the same boundary conditions. This difference is related to the way in which the temperature anisotropies and heat flows are treated in the two formulations. For the bi-Maxwellian based equations, the inclusion of separate heat flows for parallel and perpendicular thermal energy allows for the development of a pronounced tail in both the electron and proton distribution functions, which leads to temperature anisotropies with T > T. For the Maxwellian based equations, on the other hand, the tail development is restricted because only the total heat flow is considered. Consequently, as the heat flows down, the presence of an increasing magnetic field acts to produce an anisotropy with T > T, and this process dominates tail formation for the Maxwellian based equations. 相似文献

The secular evolution of the purely general relativistic low angular momentum accretion flow around a spinning black hole is shown to exhibit hysteresis effects. This confirms that a stationary shock is an integral part of such an accretion disc in the Kerr metric. The equations describing the space gradient of the dynamical flow velocity of the accreting matter have been shown to be equivalent to a first order autonomous dynamical systems. Fixed point analysis ensures that such flow must be multi-transonic for certain astrophysically relevant initial boundary conditions. Contrary to the existing consensus in the literature, the critical points and the sonic points are proved not to be isomorphic in general, they can form in a completely different length scales. Physically acceptable global transonic solutions must produce odd number of critical points. Homoclinic orbits for the flow possessing multiple critical points select the critical point with the higher entropy accretion rate, confirming that the entropy accretion rate is the degeneracy removing agent in the system. However, heteroclinic orbits are also observed for some special situation, where both the saddle type critical points of the flow configuration possesses identical entropy accretion rate. Topologies with heteroclinic orbits are thus the only allowed non-removable degenerate solutions for accretion flow with multiple critical points, and are shown to be structurally unstable. Depending on suitable initial boundary conditions, a homoclinic trajectory can be combined with a standard non-homoclinic orbit through an energy preserving Rankine-Hugoniot type of stationary shock, and multi-critical accretion flow then becomes truly multi-transonic. An effective Lyapunov index has been proposed to analytically confirm why certain class of transonic flow cannot accommodate shock solutions even if it produces multiple critical points. 相似文献

In this paper, the self-consistent density wave theory containing both a gaseous shock and a linear stellar density wave is studied, and a quasi-stable, tightly-wound, two-arm solution is obtained. The solution is convergent if the incomplete, linearized hydrodynamic equations are used, and the solution then gives the same dispersion relation as the local, asympotic solution, but the density and field profiles will be non-sinusoidal. The stellar wave will be unstable if the complete, linearized hydrodynamic equations are used. 相似文献

Propagation of weak discontinuities headed by wavefronts of arbitrary shape in three dimensions are studied in vibrationally relaxing gas flow. The transport equations representing the rate of change of discontinuities in the normal derivatives of the flow variables are obtained, and it is found that the nonlinearity in the governing equations does not contribute anything to the vibrationally relaxing gas. An explicit criterion for the growth and decay of weak discontinuities along bi-characteristic curves in the characteristic manifold of the governing differential equations is given. A special case of interest is also discussed. 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

This article applies nonstandard analysis to derive jump conditions for one-dimensional, diverging, magnetogasdynamic shock
waves emerging on the surface of a star. It is assumed that the shock thickness occurs on an infinitesimal interval and the
jump functions for the flow parameters occur smoothly across this interval. Predistributions of the Heaviside function and
the Dirac delta measure are used to model the flow variables across a shock wave. The equations of motion expressed in nonconservative
form are then applied to derive unambiguous relationships between the jump functions for the flow parameters. It is shown
here that the equations modeling a family of magnetogasdynamic shock waves yield products of generalized functions that may
be analyzed consistently using nonstandard predistributions. 相似文献

The Weber-Davis model of the solar wind is generalized to include the effects of latitude. The principal assumptions of perfect electrical conductivity, rotational symmetry, a polytropic relation between pressure and density, and a flow aligned magnetic field in a system rotating with the Sun, are retained. A flow aligned magnetic field in the rotating system may be expressed in terms of the flow velocity and density. Rotational symmetry fixes the longitudinal flow velocity Vφ in terms of the flow in the r?θ plane. Thus, the original three dimensional magnetohydrodynamic flow problem is reduced to a two dimensional hydrodynamic flow problem in the r?θ plane.There are three critical surfaces associated with the equations which supply conditions to determine three of six required boundary conditions. The specified boundary conditions at the base of the corona are the temperature, density, and magnitude of the magnetic field. The equations are then expanded about the radial, nonrotating Parker solution and an analytic solution is obtained for the resulting first order equations. The results show that for constant coronal boundary conditions there is a latitudinal flow toward the solar poles, as a result of magnetic stresses, which persists out to large distances for the Sun. Associated with this flow is a latitudinal component of the magnetic field. The radial flow parameters are, to within small first order differences, in agreement with those of the Parker and the Weber-Davis models of the solar wind.The equations are further generalized to permit first order latitudinal variations in the specified coronal boundary conditions. Results at 1 a.u. are presented for 5 per cent latitudinal differences between the equatorial and polar values. These results show that the solution at 1 a.u. is most sensitive to a latitudinal dependence in the boundary temperature and least sensitive to a latitudinal dependence in the magnetic field magnitude.A solution is then obtained for an approximate dipolar variation in the coronal magnetic field magnitude. This solution predicts that the latitudinal flow is initially toward the Equator due to magnetic channeling; however, this effect is rapidly overcome and the latitudinal flow at 1 a.u. is toward the pole and not significantly different from the solution for constant boundary conditions. 相似文献

The instability of nonhomentropic axisymmetric flows of ideal fluid with respect to two-dimensional infinitesimal perturbations with the nonconservation of angular momentum is investigated by numerically integrating the differential equations of hydrodynamics. This problem is important in studying the dynamics of astrophysical flows as shear fluid flows around a gravitating center. A complex influence of a nonzero entropy gradient on the instability of sonic and surface gravity modes has been found. In particular, both an increase and a decrease in entropy against the effective gravity g eff causes the growth of surface gravity modes that are stable at the same parameters for a homentropic flow. At the same time, the growth rate of the sonic instability branches either monotonically increases with increasing rate of decrease in entropy against g eff or becomes zero at both negative and positive entropy gradients in the unperturbed flow. Calculations also show that growing internal gravity modes appear in the problem with free boundaries under consideration only if the flow is no longer stable with respect to axisymmetric perturbations. In addition, we show that it is improper to specify the entropy distribution in the main flow by a polytropic law with a polytropic index different from the adiabatic value, since the perturbation field does not satisfy the boundary condition at a free boundary in this case. 相似文献

Principles of the theory of turbulence in relativistic cosmology are developed. By averaging Einstein's equations over stochastic fields a self-consistent system of equations is obtained which describes statistically: (1) the influence of the turbulence on the ‘basic state of the Universe (the background) on which the turbulence develops; (2) the behaviour of the turbulence on the background ‘distorted’ by it. By means of a qualitative study of exact equations in the region of a strong turbulence at an early stage of cosmological expansion conditions of the absence of singularity are found and the possibility of stationary solutions in the homogeneous, isotropic, on the average, Universe (the cosmological constantA=0) is shown. The rate of cosmological expansion increases if the energy density of the turbulence is positive, and decreases if it is negative. The latter alternative takes place if the absolute value of the energy density of excitations, which will change into potential motions in the future, exceeds the energy density of the remaining part of the turbulence. 相似文献

The stability of a dusty plasma with sheared rotational flows is investigated. Using the fluid model together with the Bayly nonmodal approach, the inhomogeneous partial differential equations governing short-wavelength perturbations at the center of a rotational flow field or vortex structure are obtained. The effects of flow eccentricity, strength of the flow shear, as well as concentration of dust grains on the stability of the perturbations are investigated numerically. It is found that flow shear can cause secondary Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a rotational flow. 相似文献

The nonlinear propagation of the Alfvén and magnetosonic waves in the solar corona is investigated in terms of model equations. Due to viscous effects taken into account the propagation of the fast wave itself is governed by Burgers type equations possessing both expansion and compression shock solutions. Numerical simulations show that both parallely and perpendicularly propagating fast waves can steepen into shocks if their amplitudes are in excess of some sizeable fraction of the Alfvén velocity. However, if the magnetic field changes linearly in the perpendicular direction, then formation of perpendicular shocks can be hindered. The Alfvén waves exhibit a tendency to drive both the slow and fast magnetosonic waves whose propagation is described by linearized Boussinesq type equations with ponderomotive terms due to the Alfvén wave. The limits of the slow and fast waves are investigated. 相似文献

We introduce a novel formalism to investigate the role of the spin angular momentum of astrophysical black holes in influencing the behavior of low angular momentum general relativistic accretion. We propose a metric independent analysis of axisymmetric general relativistic flow, and consequently formulate the space and time dependent equations describing the general relativistic hydrodynamic accretion flow in the Kerr metric. The associated stationary critical solutions for such flow equations are provided and the stability of the stationary transonic configuration is examined using an elegant linear perturbation technique. We examine the properties of infalling material for both prograde and retrograde accretion as a function of the Kerr parameter at extremely close proximity to the event horizon. Our formalism can be used to identify a new spectral signature of black hole spin, and has the potential of performing the black hole shadow imaging corresponding to the low angular momentum accretion flow. 相似文献

Several integration schemes exist to solve the equations of motion of the N -body problem. The Lie-integration method is based on the idea to solve ordinary differential equations with Lie-series. In the 1980s, this method was applied to solve the equations of motion of the N -body problem by giving the recurrence formulae for the calculation of the Lie-terms. The aim of this work is to present the recurrence formulae for the linearized equations of motion of N -body systems. We prove a lemma which greatly simplifies the derivation of the recurrence formulae for the linearized equations if the recurrence formulae for the equations of motions are known. The Lie-integrator is compared with other well-known methods. The optimal step-size and order of the Lie-integrator are calculated. It is shown that a fine-tuned Lie-integrator can be 30–40 per cent faster than other integration methods. 相似文献

The one-dimensional non-linear equations for a viscous fluid with finite thermal conductivity are solved to get an exact solution for a steady vertical flow. The stability of such a steady flow is examined to find that the viscosity has a very pronounced stabilizing influence on convective and acoustic modes. 相似文献

We have compared solutions obtained from the general 13-moment system of transport equations with those obtained from the standard collision-dominated transport equations for conditions corresponding to low speed thermal proton flow in the topside ionosphere in the vicinity of the plasmapause. In general, the solutions obtained from the 13-moment system of equations, which allows for different species temperatures parallel and perpendicular to the geomagnetic field and non-classical heat flows, are different from those obtained from the standard transport equations, which account for isotropic temperatures and classical collision-dominated heat flows. Within the plasmasphere, where the electron density is high, the differences between the 13-moment and standard solutions are typically small. However, outside the plasmasphere where the electron density is lower and in the ionosphere above SAR-arcs, where substantial electron and proton heat flows occur, there can be significant differences between the 13-moment and standard solutions. Generally, the differences are much larger for the protons than for the electrons. Our 13-moment solutions indicate that the proton and electron distributions are anisotropic with the difference between parallel and perpendicular temperatures approaching 4000 K for the protons and 2500 K for the electrons in the ionosphere above SAR-arcs. Also, above SAR-arcs the 13-moment heat flow equations yield proton heat flows as much as a factor of 10 lower and electron heat flows as much as a factor of 2 lower than those predicted by the classical collision-dominated heat flow expressions for the same boundary conditions. 相似文献

A new second-order solution to the two-point boundary value problem for relative motion about orbital rendezvous in one orbit
period is proposed. First, nonlinear differential equations to describe the relative motion between a chaser and a target
are presented considering the second-order terms in the gravity. Then, by regarding the second-order terms as external accelerations,
we establish second-order state transition equations. Moreover, the J2 perturbations effects can also be considered in the
state transition equations. Last, the initial relative velocity to fulfill a rendezvous is determined by solving the state
transition equations. Numerical simulations show that the new second-order state transition equations are accurate. The second-order
solution to the two-point boundary value problem on eccentric orbits is valid even if the relative range is farther than 500 km. 相似文献

Dynamical evolution of a relativistic explosion resulting from a large amount of energy release in a homogenous medium is studied using the Khalatnikov equation describing relativistic, hydrodynamic, planar flow. The early phase of the explosion is idealized to two stages: a free expansion and a shock wave stage. By the hodograph transformation inverting the dependent and independent variables, the hydrodynamic equations for the relativistic flow are reduced to second-order linear equations in a velocity-enthalpy space and they are solved by the method of Laplace transformation. The propagation laws and flow structures of the relativistic expansion are obtained at each stage. In the free expansion stage, the flow with a sufficiently high sound velocity forms a thin shell of the energy density in the comoving frame at the front and accelerates the front. In the shock wave stage, the Lorentz factor of the shock front decreases logarithmically with time. The transition time from a free expansion to a shock wave stage suggests that the super-light expansion observed in extragalactic radio sources has no spherical geometry but must be confined to a narrow cone. 相似文献
