By using a non-local convection theory, both the local and nonlocal convective envelope models of evolutionary series of stars with masses from 1 to 30 solar masses are calculated. The problem of supersonic convection is reviewed. The results show that the convective velocities in the stellar atmosphere are seriously overestimated by the local mixing-length theory. Convection is strongly supersonic in the atmospheres of yellow giant and super-giants, while the local mixing-length theory is used. However, it becomes subsonic for most stars when convection returns to the normal nonlocal treatment. Convection velocities increase with increase of luminosities of stars. There is still weak supersonic convection in few red and yellow giant and super-giants. It is suspected whether this supersonic convection in stellar atmospheres is true.  相似文献

According to the result of the numerical simulation on stellar convective envelopes by the traditional mixing length theory, supersonic convection would occur on the top of the convective regions of the yellow-and-red giants and supergiants. This, however, is not self-consistent with the local convection theory itself. This paper is devoted to analyze in details the origin of supersonic convection, and at the same time to present a plot of the supersonic convection region on the H-R diagram based on the evolutionary track of population I stars. The main results of this paper are as follows: in the process of evolution, (1) no supersonic convection occurs in low-mass stars; (2) for intermediate-mass stars, because of the ionization of hydrogen, the supersonic convection occurs chiefly in the region of 3.6< lgTe <4.0, tilting from the lower left to the upper right on the H-R diagram and extending to the region of red giants for relatively massive stars; (3) for massive stars, the supersonic convection occurs after they deviate from ZAMS, the greater the stellar mass is, the earlier the supersonic convection emerges. For blue supergiants, the supersonic convection occurs at the absorbtion peak (lg T ∼5.3) of Fe and in the secondary ionization region of helium, but for the red- and yellow-giants and supergiants, it occurs in the ionization region of hydrogen.  相似文献

We present a five-wave Riemann solver for the equations of ideal relativistic magneto-hydrodynamics. Our solver can be regarded as a relativistic extension of the five-wave HLLD Riemann solver initially developed by Miyoshi & Kusano for the equations of ideal magnetohydrodynamics. The solution to the Riemann problem is approximated by a five-wave pattern, comprising two outermost fast shocks, two rotational discontinuities and a contact surface in the middle. The proposed scheme is considerably more elaborate than in the classical case since the normal velocity is no longer constant across the rotational modes. Still, proper closure to the Rankine–Hugoniot jump conditions can be attained by solving a non-linear scalar equation in the total pressure variable which, for the chosen configuration, has to be constant over the whole Riemann fan. The accuracy of the new Riemann solver is validated against one-dimensional tests and multidimensional applications. It is shown that our new solver considerably improves over the popular Harten–Lax–van Leer solver or the recently proposed HLLC schemes.  相似文献

Extragalactic radio sources are separated in two classes according to their specific luminosity: Fanaroff-Riley I and II. The origin of this dichotomy can be due either to intrinsec different properties of the AGN or to interaction of the jet with different enviroments. We assume that jets are always relativistic and supersonic close to their source, as recent observations suggest, and we explore the conditions in which the jets decelerate assuming FR I morphology. We have carried out high resolution 3D simulations for a set of parameters and in this paper we concentrate our discussion on two extreme cases.  相似文献

1引言尽管有诸多的不满之处,由于其物理上的直观性和应用上的简单性,至今混合长理论仍几乎是唯一一个广泛用于恒星结构、演化和脉动计算的恒星对流理论.混合长理论预言,在红、黄巨星和超巨星大气中,对流是超声速的.我们曾指出,混合长理论隐含了一个假定,对流是亚声速的.对于超声速对流,无论从物理的真实性,还是从混合长公式的数学表述来看,混合长理论都是不正确的.因此超声对流的真实性是存在问题  相似文献

We give an analytic expression of the braking torque on a Jacobian ellipsoid rotating steadily in an environmental gas, based on the assumption that the ellipsoid rotates around its shortest principal axis with an angular momentum slightly larger than that at the bifurcation point of the Maclaurin spheroid. This braking torque is effected by the gravitational interaction between the ellipsoid matter and a spiral density configuration in the environmental gas. This spiral configuration, which we call a tidal acoustic wave, is caused by the zone of silence effect in a supersonic flow. With respect to a coordinates system rotating with the ellipsoid, a supersonic region appears outside a certain radius. In this supersonic region, the effect of the non-axisymmetric fluctuation in the ellipsoid potential propagates only along the downstream branches of the Mach waves. This one-sided response of the supersonic part causes the tidal acoustic wave. We restrict ourselves to the equatorial plane, and use an acoustic approximation of the basic equations under the assumption that the self-gravity effect of the environmental gas is negligible in comparison to the main gravity of the ellipsoid. The results are applied to the pre- and post-Main Sequence phases of a rotating star, and relating astrophysical problems are discussed.  相似文献

Ion-acoustic solitary waves in a warm, magnetized plasma with electron inertia have been investigated through Sagdeev pseudopotential method. It has been established the existence of both compressive supersonic solitons, and rarefactive subsonic and supersonic solitons within the parametric domains. The effect of the external magnetic field for generation of the supersonic compressive solitons of constant amplitudes appears to be passive after some critical direction of propagation of the wave. However, up to the critical direction of propagation, the magnetic resistance is found to be quite active to drastically reduce the soliton amplitudes. The generation of rarefactive solitons in this warm magnetized plasma is rather more feasible to be supersonic without electron inertia.  相似文献

We solve the nonlinear problem of the dynamics of a steady-state, spherically symmetric stellar wind by taking into account particle acceleration to relativistic energies near the shock front. The particles are assumed to be accelerated through the Fermi mechanism, interacting with stellar-wind turbulence and crossing many times the shock front that separates the supersonic and subsonic stellar-wind regions. We take into account the influence of the accelerated particles on hydrodynamic plasma-flow parameters. Our method allows all hydrodynamic parameters of the shock front and plasma in the supersonic region to be determined in a self-consistent way and the accelerated-particle energy spectrum to be calculated. Our numerical and analytic calculations show that the plasma compression ratio at the shock front increases compared to the case where there are no relativistic particles and that the velocity profile in the supersonic region acquires a characteristic kink. The shape of the energy spectrum for the accelerated particles and their pressure near the front are essentially determined by the presumed dependence of the diffusion coefficient on particle energy, which, in turn, depends on the scale distribution of turbulent pulsations and other stellar-wind inhomogeneities.  相似文献

Complex-variable analysis is used to develop an exact solution to Kepler's equation, for both elliptic and hyperbolic orbits. The method is based on basic properties of canonical solutions to appropriately posed Riemann problems, and the final results are expressed in terms of elementary quadratures.  相似文献

The supersonic nonlinear gas behavior is studied to describe the gas flow in the galactic spiral density wave. The explicit form of the expression describing a critical amplitude of density wave potential, which separates the supersonic flow from the flow containing a jump between supersonic and subsonic flows is obtained. The latter allows us to define the dependence of perturbed galactic potential, under which the shock can be developed, on the macroscopic equilibrium parameters of the system under study, e.g. a sound speed, an angular velocity of galactic rotation, an angular velocity of `spiral design', etc. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

A Riemann ellipsoid is a self-gravitating fluid whose velocity field is a linear function of the position coordinates. Though the theory of the equilibrium and stability is thoroughly developed, scarse attention has been paid to the dynamical behaviour.In this paper we present a numerical exploration of the phase-space structure for the Self-Adjoint S-Type Riemann ellipsoids via Poincaré surfaces of section, which reveal a rich and complex dynamical behaviour.Both the occurrence of chaos for certain values of the parameters of the system as well as the existence of periodic orbits are observed.We also considered ellipsoids embedded in rigid, homogeneous, spherical halos, obtaining evidence of the stabilizing effect of halos even in the case of finite-amplitude oscillations.Moreover, we show that the approximated equations of motion derived by Rosensteel and Tran (1991) fail to describe properly the phase-space structure of the problem.  相似文献

An approximate Riemann solver for the equations of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) is derived. The Harten–Lax–van Leer contact wave (HLLC) solver, originally developed by Toro, Spruce and Spears, generalizes the algorithm described in a previous paper to the case where magnetic fields are present. The solution to the Riemann problem is approximated by two constant states bounded by two fast shocks and separated by a tangential wave. The scheme is Jacobian-free, in the sense that it avoids the expensive characteristic decomposition of the RMHD equations and it improves over the HLL scheme by restoring the missing contact wave.
Multidimensional integration proceeds via the single step, corner transport upwind (CTU) method of Colella, combined with the constrained transport (CT) algorithm to preserve divergence-free magnetic fields. The resulting numerical scheme is simple to implement, efficient and suitable for a general equation of state. The robustness of the new algorithm is validated against one- and two-dimensional numerical test problems.  相似文献

We have analyze the set of 70 intense geomagnetic storms associatedwith Dst decrease of more than 100 nT, observed duringthe period (1986–1991). We have compile these selected intensegeomagnetic storm events and find out their association with twotypes of solar wind streams and different interplanetary parameters.We concluded that the maximum numbers of intense geomagneticstorms are associated with transient disturbances in solar wind streams,which causes strong interplanetary shocks in interplanetary medium.The association of supersonic shocks and magnetic clouds with intensegeomagnetic storms have also been discussed.  相似文献

Existence of both subsonic and supersonic compressive solitons of interesting characters is established in this magnetized plasma model with non relativistic ions and relativistic electrons. The small supersonic range for the generation of compressive solitons is shown to confine near the vicinity of the direction of the magnetic field. It is predicted that the relativistic variation of electron’s mass is responsible for the expansion of Sagdeev potential to result increase in soliton’s amplitude and decrease in its width.  相似文献

Observations of molecular clouds point to the existence of supersonic, turbulent flows. Therefore, any theory which attempts to describe molecular cloud evolution and star formation must include a consideration of the dynamics of colliding flows. Previous studies have considered the collision of supersonic streams or clouds. The resultant instabilities provide a mechanism which may give rise to observable cloud morphologies and enhance the star formation rate. One such instability is the nonlinear thin shell instability (NTSI) of a shock-bounded slab. This process is driven by ram pressure and efficient cooling. In this study, I use numerical simulations to examine the head-on collision of supersonic gas streams in a cold, molecular gas. A dense slab forms in the collision midplane and is prone to a number of instabilities, including the NTSI. The thermodynamic processes involved are found to have a controlling influence upon the instability and fragmentation of the slab. Although some minimal amount of cooling is needed to drive the instability, too rapid a cooling rate gives rise to smaller wavelength instabilities which wipe out the NTSI. The growth rate of the NTSI in a gas undergoing molecular cooling corresponds to a timescale of order 1012 s, in general agreement with the theoretical value for an isothermal gas. The NTSI may provide a viable mechanism for the instigation of rapid star formation.  相似文献

This paper examines the magnitude of downward H+ field-aligned velocities at mid-latitudes. For the isothermal, collisionless, steady-state case an analytical form is derived for the critical temperature, below which the plasma temperature must lie for there to be a possibility of supersonic H+ flow. Some simple equations are presented which yield velocity profiles and an aid to the understanding of energy distribution in the H+ gas. Very little gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. For the general case the situation is far more complicated, but we note in particular the importance of the O+ contribution to the electrostatic field. For the simpler case the flow is always subsonic regardless of the plasma temperature and it appears unlikely that supersonic flow will occur in the more general case.  相似文献

The combination of accretion disks and supersonic jets is used to model many active astrophysical objects, viz., young stars, relativistic stars, and active galactic nuclei. However, existing theories on the physical processes by which these structures transfer angular momentum and energy from disks to jets through viscous or magnetic torques are still relatively approximate. Global stationary solutions do not permit understanding the formation and stability of these structures; and global numerical simulations that include both the disk and jet physics are often limited to relatively short time scales and astrophysically out-of-range values of viscosity and resistivity parameters that are instead crucial to defining the coupling of the inflow/outflow dynamics. Along these lines we discuss self-consistent time-dependent simulations of the launching of supersonic jets by magnetized accretion disks, using high resolution numerical techniques. We shall concentrate on the effects of the disk physical parameters, and discuss under which conditions steady state solutions of the type proposed in the self-similar models of Blandford and Payne can be reached and maintained in a self-consistent nonlinear stationary state.  相似文献

按照通常的局部混合长理论,在红、黄巨星和超巨星对流区的顶部将出现超声速对流。作者对此提出了质疑,并提出了一种修正的混合长公式。与传统的理论相比,对具相同质量、光度和有效温度的恒星,新理论预期一较浅的对流区,超声速对流也被有效地抑制了。其结果是在HR 图上,红超巨星支向低温方向移动了100400K;而对中低光度恒星的结构和演化性质却没有任何可察的影响。  相似文献
