A method is developed to study the stability of periodic motions of the three-body problem in a rotating frame of reference, based on the notion of surface of section. The method is linear and involves the computation of a 4×4 variational matrix by integrating numerically the differential equations for time intervals of the order of a period. Several properties of this matrix are proved and also it is shown that for a symmetric periodic motion it can be computed by integrating for half the period only.This linear stability analysis is used to study the stability of a family of periodic motions of three bodies with equal masses, in a rotating frame of reference. This family represents motion such that two bodies revolve around each other and the third body revolves around this binary system in the same direction to a distance which varies along the members of the family. It was found that a large part of the family, corresponding to the case where the distance of the third body from the binary system is larger than the dimensions of the binary system, represents stable motion. The nonlinear effects to the linear stability analysis are studied by computing the intersections of several perturbed orbits with the surface of sectiony 3=0. In some cases more than 1000 intersections are computed. These numerical results indicate that linear stability implies stability to all orders, and this is true for quite large perturbations.  相似文献

Purely gravitational perturbations are considered in a thin rotating disc composed of gas and several stellar components. The dispersion relation for the axisymmetric density waves propagating through the disc is found and the criterion for the local axisymmetric stability of the whole system is formulated. In the appropriate limit of two-component gas we confirm the findings of Jog & Solomon and extend consideration to the case when one component is collisionless. Gravitational stability of the Galactic disc in the solar neighbourhood based on the multicomponent instability condition is explored using recent measurements of the stellar composition and kinematics in the local Galactic disc obtained by the Hipparcos satellite.  相似文献

In this paper we have presented a very general class of solutions for rotating fluid disks around massive objects (neglecting the self gravitation of the disk) with density as a function of the radial coordinate only and pressure being nonzero. Having considered a number of cases with different density and velocity distributions, we have analysed the stability of such disks under both radial and axisymmetric perturbations. For a perfect gas disk with γ= 5/3 the disk is stable with frequency (MG/r3)1/2 for purely radial pulsation with expanding and contracting boundary. In the case of axisymmetric perturbation the critical γc for neutral stability is found to be much less than 4/3 indicating that such disks are mostly stable under such perturbations.

The aim of this series of papers is to develop straightforward methods of computing the response of flat galaxies to small perturbations. This Paper I considers steady state problems; Paper II considers time varying perturbations and the effects of resonances; and Paper III applies the methods developed in Papers I and II to a numerical study of the stability of flat galaxies.The general approach is to study the dynamics of each individual orbit. The orbits are described by their apocentric and pericentric radii,r a andr p , and the distribution function of an equilibrium model is a function ofr a andr p . The mass density and potential corresponding to a distribution function is found by means of an expansion in Hankel-Laguerre functions; the coefficients of the expansion being found by taking moments of the mass density of the individual orbits. This leads to a simple method of constructing equilibrium models.The response to a small perturbation is found by seeking the response of each orbit. When the perturbations are axisymmetric and slowly varying, the response can be easily found using adiabatic invariants. The potential is expanded in a series of Hankel-Laguerre functions, and the response operator becomes a discrete matrix. The condition that the model is stable against adiabatic radial perturbations is that the largest eigenvalue of the response matrix should be less than one.An analytic approximation to the response matrix is derived, and applied to estimate the eccentricity needed for stability against local perturbations.  相似文献

The effect of a non-uniform magnetic field on the gravitational instability for a non-uniformly rotating, infinitely extending axisymmetric cylinder in a homogeneous medium has been studied. The Bel and Schatzman criterion of gravitational instability for a non-uniformly rotating medium is modified under the effect of a non-uniform/uniform magnetic field acting along the tangential and axial directions. As a consequence the stabilizing and destabilizing effect of the non-uniform magnetic field is obtained, a new criterion for the magneto-gravitational instability is deduced in terms of Alfven’s wave velocity; and it is also found that the Jeans criterion determines the gravitational instability in the absence of rotation and when the non-uniform/uniform magnetic field acts along the axis of the cylinder.  相似文献

If Jupiter's and Saturn's fluid interiors were inviscid and adiabatic, any steady zonal motion would take the form of differentially rotating cylinders concentric about the planetary axis of rotation. B. A. Smith et al. [Science215, 504–537 (1982)] showed that Saturn's observed zonal wind profile extends a significant distance below cloud base. Further extension into the interior occurs if the values of the eddy viscosity and superadiabaticity are small. We estimate these values using a scaling analysis of deep convection in the presence of differential rotation. The differential rotation inhibits the convection and reduces the effective eddy viscosity. Viscous dissipation of zonal mean kinetic energy is then within the bounds set by the internal heat source. The differential rotation increases the superadiabaticity, but not so much as to eliminate the cylindrical structure of the flow. Very large departures from adiabaticity, necessary for decoupling the atmosphere and interior, do not occur. Using our scaling analysis we develop the anelastic equations that describe motions in Jupiter's and Saturn's interiors. A simple problem is solved, that of an adiabatic fluid with a steady zonal wind varying as a function of cylindrical radius. Low zonal wavenumber perturbations are two dimensional (independent of the axial coordinate) and obey a modified barotropic stability equation. The parameter analogous to β is negative and is three to four times larger than the β for thin atmospheres. Jupiter's and Saturn's observed zonal wind profiles are close to marginal stability according to this deep sphere criterion, but are several times supercritical according to the thin atmosphere criterion.  相似文献

The response of material to a rotating magnetic dipole, considered as primeaval, the axis of which liesin the galactic plane of a model galaxy, is examined. In the three cases of (2.1) gas gradient dominant; (2.2) magnetic pressure and gravity dominant; and (2.3) gas pressure, magnetic pressure and gravity dominant with viscosity neglected, the flow pattern is found to be always characterised by two streamers of high-velocity matter emerging in the plane of the galaxy. The accompanying density distribution suggests a ready analogy with spiral galaxies, especially of SBc and SBb type; the main implication of the hypothesis, however, is that galactic dipoles will inevitably set up density perturbations of a form suitable for the generation of spiral arms via the mechanism of density waves.  相似文献

Continuing a work initiated in an earlier publication (Yamada et al. in Phys Rev D 91:124016, 2015), we reexamine the linear stability of the triangular solution in the relativistic three-body problem for general masses by the standard linear algebraic analysis. In this paper, we start with the Einstein–Infeld–Hoffmann form of equations of motion for N-body systems in the uniformly rotating frame. As an extension of the previous work, we consider general perturbations to the equilibrium, i.e., we take account of perturbations orthogonal to the orbital plane, as well as perturbations lying on it. It is found that the orthogonal perturbations depend on each other by the first post-Newtonian (1PN) three-body interactions, though these are independent of the lying ones likewise the Newtonian case. We also show that the orthogonal perturbations do not affect the condition of stability. This is because these do not grow with time, but always precess with two frequency modes, namely, the same with the orbital frequency and the slightly different one due to the 1PN effect. The condition of stability, which is identical to that obtained by the previous work (Yamada et al. 2015) and is valid for the general perturbations, is obtained from the lying perturbations.  相似文献

We examine the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability of a magnetic loop, taking into account field line tying at its foot points. We use the ideal MHD energy equation to derive a stability equation for a specific class of perturbations.We found that for a loop with large aspect ratio (10) the field line tying effect is negligible to the m = 1 kink mode but important to the localized modes. The stability criterion for high m localized modes is derived and compared with the Suydam criterion. The result shows that for the perturbation of the class studied, there are two effects of field line tying; one is a field line bending effect which is always stabilizing and the other is a shear effect which is stabilizing or destabilizing depending on the sign of the gradient of potential magnetic field. The net effect of field line tying is determined by the sum of these two effects.The result of this work is contrary to the result of Hood and Priest, in which they found that the field line tying effect is significant to the m = 1 mode. We believe that the contradiction comes from their incomplete minimization of the energy equation.  相似文献

Possible ellipsoidal figures of equilibrium are obtained for a rotating, gravitating fluid mass with internal mass flows of constant vorticity, embedded inside a homogeneous gravitating sphere. The classical ellipsoidal figures of equilibrium are generalized and new S-ellipsoids and ellipsoids with oblique rotation are obtained. The stability of embedded S-ellipsoids is investigated and the criterion for their stability is obtained. The existence of an ellipsoid with oblique rotation of type II inside a relatively dense halo becomes impossible.  相似文献

We investigate the instability driven by viscosity in rotating relativistic stars by means of an iterative approach. We focus on polytropic rotating equilibrium stars and impose an m=2 perturbation in the lapse. We vary both the stiffness of the equation of state and the compactness of the star to study these factors on the critical value T/W for the instability. For a rigidly rotating star, the criterion T/W, where T is the rotational kinetic energy and W the gravitational binding energy, mainly depends on the compactness of the star and takes values around 0.13–0.16, which slightly differ from that of Newtonian incompressible stars (∼0.14). For differentially rotating stars, the critical value of T/W is found to span the range 0.17–0.25. The value is significantly larger than in the rigidly rotating case with the same compactness of the star. Finally we discuss the possibility of detecting gravitational waves from viscosity-driven instabilities using ground-based interferometers.   相似文献

The value of the upper limit of the Southworth-Hawkins D criterion for the Pons-Winneckids (June Bootid) and Perseids meteor streams is analyzed on the basis of the comparison of the parent comet orbit with the model orbits of meteoroids ejected at different points of the comet orbit with the most likely ejection velocities. The change of the D values is investigated depending on the dynamic evolution of the streams by integrating forward the orbital elements of the model particles using the Cowell method taking into account the perturbations from all planets. It is shown that after ten rotations, for Pons-Winneckids the upper limit of the D criterion is higher than 0.5 and for Perseids the D criterion does not exceed 0.2.  相似文献

Nonlinear perturbations of gaseous disks with Jeans instability are investigated and it is shown that interactions of exponentially growing perturbations in certain cases result in the establishment of nonlinear spiral structures. The problem of the spiral structure of galaxies is discussed from the standpoint of nonlinear wave theory. Translated from Astrofizika, Vol. 42, No. 3, pp. 407–418, July–September, 1999.  相似文献

The stability of a self‐gravitating infinitesimally thin gaseous disk rotating around a central mass is studied. Our global linear analysis concerns marginal stability, i.e. it yields the critical temperature for the onset of instability for any given ratio of the disk mass to the central mass. Both axisymmetric and low‐m nonaxisymmetric excitations are analysed. When the fractional disk mass increases, the symmetry character of the instability changes from rings (m = 0) to one‐armed trailing spirals (m = 1). The distribution of the surface density along the spiral arms is not uniform, but describes a sequence of maxima that might be identified with forming planets. The number of the mass concentrations decreases with increasing fractional disk mass. We also obtain solutions in the form of global nonaxisymmetric vortices, which are, however, never excited.  相似文献

The equilibrium structure of differentially rotating polytropic cylinders is determined numerically. We setn=3 and use a quadratic function for the law of differential rotation. We construct different models by varying the angular velocity at the axis and the ratio of the angular velocity at the surface to the angular velocity at the axis. By taking a decreasing function for the rotation law we are able to treat models with an angular velocity at the axis greater than the break-up velocity of uniformly rotating cylinders. We also determine whether a Richardson-like criterion for stability is violated in the models.  相似文献

The existence proof of continuous spectra of eigenvaluess developed in the framework of the function space ofq-regularizations (Perdang, 1976) is extended in this paper by relaxing the severe restrictions previously imposed o the mathematical structure of the stellar stability equations. It is stressed that these local modes depend on the variable system in terms of which the linearized stellar structure equations are set up. We therefore search for a systematic procedure to select the most satisfactory system to analyze Local Stability. Our procedure is illustrated in great detail in the case of nonradial adiabatic stability. Moreover when applied to nonadiabatic perturbations it reveals the existence of two new types of local instability which seem to prevail in the majority of stars in a thermonuclear burning phase: (a) a nonrdial local secular instability; (b) a radial local nuclear instability. Numerical test calculations exhibit that the latter helps us to understand certain evolutionary features of stars, in particular it provides an interpretation of Hayashiet al.'s (1962) rule.  相似文献

The stability of an infinitely conducting plasma of variable density has been investigated taking into account the finiteness of the ion Larmor radius. The perturbations propagating along the ambient magnetic field are considered. It is established that, in general,n 2 is necessarily real, wheren is the growth rate of disturbance, thus ruling out the possibility of overstability or damped oscillations. The solution is shown to be characterized by a variational principle, which provides the basis for obtaining an approximate solution of the problem. Two density distributions are considered: (i) a continuously stratified plasma layer and (ii) two semi-infinitely extending plasmas of constant densities separated by a horizontal interface. In both cases it has been shown that for the said disturbances the stability criterion remains unaffected by the inclusion of finite Larmor radius effects, though the amplified motion is strongly inhibited due to their inclusion.  相似文献

For infinitesimal, homologous perturbations, stability analysis has found the solar radiative interior thermally stable. It is considered for the first time here whether stability is preserved when finite amplitude nonhomologous perturbations are present. We argue that local heated regions may develop in the solar core due to magnetic instabilities. Simple numerical estimations are derived for the timescales of the decay of these events and, when heated bubbles are generated that rise towards the surface, of their rising motion. These estimations suggest that the solar core is in a metastable state. For more detailed analysis, we developed a numerical code to solve the differential equation system. Our calculations determined the conditions of metastability and the evolution of timescales. We obtained two principal results. One of them shows that small amplitude heating events (with energy surplus Qo < 1026 ergs) contribute to subtle but long-lifetime heat waves and give the solar interior a persistently oscillating character. Interestingly, the slow decay of heat waves may make their accumulation possible and so their overlapping may contribute to the development of an intermittent, individual, local process of bubble generation, which may also be generated directly by stronger (Qo > 1026 ergs) heating events. Our second principal result is that for heated regions with ΔT/T ≥ 10−4 and radius 105–106cm, the generated bubbles may travel distances larger than their linear size. We point out to some possible observable consequences of the obtained results.  相似文献

The velocity fluctuations in a spherical shell arising from sinusoidal perturbations of a Keplerian shear flow with a free amplitude parameter ε are studied numerically by means of fully 3D nonlinear simulations. The investigations are performed at high Reynolds numbers, i.e. 3000 < Re < 5000. We find Taylor‐Proudman columns of large eddies parallel to the rotation axis for sufficiently strong perturbations. An instability sets in at critical amplitudes with εcrit ∝ Re—1. The whole flow turns out to be almost axisymmetric and nonturbulent exhibiting, however, a very rich radial and latitudinal structure. The Reynolds stress 〈uruϕ〉 is positive in the entire computational domain, from its Gaussian radial profile a positive viscosity‐alpha of about 10—4 is derived. The kinetic energy of the turbulent state is dominated by the azimuthal component 〈u′2ϕ whereas the other components are smaller by two orders of magnitude. Our simulations reveal, however, that these structures disappear as soon as the perturbations are switched off. We did not find an “effective” perturbation whose amplitude is such that the disturbance is sustained for large times (cf. Dauchot & Daviaud 1995) which is due to the effective violation of the Rayleigh stability criterion. The fluctuations rapidly smooth the original profile towards to pure Kepler flow which, therefore, proves to be stable in that sense.  相似文献
