在应用2.5维混合模拟方法研究Petschek模型磁场重联的基础上,考察了试验电子被加速的特征. 模拟结果表明,稳态的低频重联场能将少量试验电子加速到高能,电子的能谱为幂律谱,但总体分布函数未发生显著变化. 电子在整个加速过程中被束缚在低磁场的加速区内,由重联产生的感应电场Ey分量对其直接加速,根据加速时间和加速区域可以将这些电子分为两种情况:初始位于加速区和漂移到加速区被加速.  相似文献

用三维可压缩MHD数值模拟研究了在磁场重联过程中电子压力梯度项的效应研究结果发现在较高等离子体β,较小离子惯性尺度条件下,广义欧姆定理中压力梯度项在重联过程的作用不可忽略.在磁重联过程中,压力梯度项虽然没有明显改变磁场拓扑结构和重联速度,但它使电子和离子速度明显增大.由于在离子惯性尺度下,离子和电子运动解耦,电子是电流的主要载流子,所以场向电流也增大,并导致核心磁场明显增大.考虑到场向电流是磁层电离层耦合的一个重要因素,所以电子压力梯度项的引入加强了行星际磁场南向期间磁层电离层的耦合.电子压力梯度项还在重联区激发了波动,该波动可向重联区外传播.  相似文献

多层电流片中撕裂模不稳定性的数值研究   总被引:2,自引:1,他引:2       下载免费PDF全文
应用二维磁流体动力学模拟方法数值研究了三层电流片中电阻撕裂模不稳定性的特征及磁场重联过程.结果表明,这是一种复杂的非稳态磁场重联.在初期阶段,三个电流片中分别由撕裂模不稳定性引起磁场重联,形成薄而长的磁岛.随着撕裂模不稳定性的非线性发展,每个磁岛的宽度都逐步增大,以至导致新的磁场重联发生.同时,三个电流片的强度都逐渐减弱,且原中心反向电流区最终消失.部分磁能不断地转化为等离子体的热能和动能,引起等离子体的加热和加速.多层电流片中撕裂模不稳定性引起的自发重联,可能对太阳耀斑、日冕加热、太阳风与磁层耦合等有重要影响.  相似文献

磁场重联是空间能量释放和转换的重要机制.静电孤立波(ESW)虽然在空间中有广泛观测,但在磁场重联附近少有直接观测,对它在磁场重联附近的特性了解甚少.通过Geotail卫星对一个磁场重联事件的观测,仔细分析了其边界层上观测到的静电孤立波的特性,并讨论了它对磁场重联的影响.研究表明,亚暴期间在磁尾发生磁场重联,重联区域的分形线附近观测到了大量的静电孤立波,其特性与在其他地方观测到的并没有显著差别,但具有更明显的非线性和孤立性的特征.它们对电子加速和能量耗散有促进作用,加速磁场重联的进程.  相似文献

本文采用二维全粒子模拟来研究无碰撞等离子体中的磁岛合并过程.结果表明,磁岛合并分为两个阶段,在第一个阶段,两个磁岛因同向电流丝之间的吸引力而缓慢地相互靠近,在这个过程中,合并线附近的电子被面外电场加速,形成薄电流片,同时电流片两侧形成磁场堆积.第二个阶段为快速重联阶段,合并线附近的电磁场结构和以Harris电流片为初态的重联扩散区的电磁场结构很相似,其中最显著的特点为面外磁场的四极型结构.  相似文献

密度非对称的二维无碰撞磁场重联   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1       下载免费PDF全文
使用二维粒子模拟(PIC)的方法研究了在电流片两侧具有不同温度或密度情况下的无碰撞磁场重联过程.在初始等离子体密度非对称的情况下,发现重联区等离子体流场结构、电磁场结构以及重联过程与对称情况下的结果有明显不同.通过对电流片两侧温度比取不同的参数Tm/Ts=1,2,5进行模拟(其中Tm和Ts分别代表磁层侧和磁鞘侧的温度),结果分析发现,(1)在密度非对称系统中,出流区电子沿着分离面出现一个整体的从高密度区向低密度区的流动,并围绕磁岛形成一个电流环;(2)在高温低密度一侧,在重联过程中,分离面两侧将出现很强的电荷分离并产生一个基本垂直于分离面的强度较大的电场Ez,其幅度和空间尺度与温度梯度近似地成线性正比和反比关系.在初始电流片两侧温度之比取Tm/Ts=5的情况下,Ez的幅度将达到0.71,其空间尺度与局地电子惯性长度de同一量级,这一结果与观测相吻合;(3)重联率随着温度梯度增大而下降.  相似文献

采用三维可压缩MHD数值模拟研究了行星际磁场By分量的变化对磁层顶重联区场向电流大小和分布的影响. 行星际磁场通过模拟区x=-Lx处左边界条件By来影响重联过程,从而改变重联区的场向电流. 研究结果表明边界条件By的突然改变,能使重联区场向电流迅速增加,甚至达到增大一个量级的水平.By本身的存在(即不为零)也会使场向电流维持在一个较高的水平. 由于行星际磁场By分量不为零,而形成模拟区磁场By不对称分布,这种不对称分布是场向电流不对称分布产生的主要原因. 这些结果是与Orsted卫星最新观测结果和地 面观测结果相符合的,它表明行星际磁场By分量对地球空间场向电流有较大的调制作用.  相似文献

等离子体系统中存在两个或多个电流片时,电流片中发生的不稳定性可能会相互作用.行星际磁场北向时,背阳面碰层顶电流片与磁尾等离子体片之间可能发生相互作用,高纬边界层强烈的流场剪切可能促进磁场重联,产生磁层亚暴.本文运用二维可压缩磁流体模拟研究具有强流场剪切的多个电流片系统中磁场重联的演化.结果表明,Kelvin-Helmholtz不稳定性使多电流片系统的磁场重联过程明显加快;相邻电流片之间的距离越近,两者相互作用越强,重联增长率越大;在三电流片系统中,超Alfven速度强流场导致外侧两个电流片中出现强烈的磁场重联,并引发中心电流片的磁场重联.行星际磁场北向时,也可能发生磁层亚暴.  相似文献

The results of a three-dimensional MHD simulation and data obtained using specialized spacecraft made it possible to construct an electrodynamic model of solar flares. A flare results from explosive magnetic reconnection in a current sheet above an active region, and electrons accelerated in field-aligned currents cause hard X rays on the solar surface. In this review, we considered works where the boundary and initial conditions on the photosphere were specified directly from the magnetic maps, obtained by SOHO MDI in the preflare state, in order to simulate the formation of a current sheet. A numerical solution of the complete set of MHD equations, performed using the new-generation PERESVET program, demonstrated the formation of several current sheets before a series of flares. A comparison of the observed relativistic proton spectra and the simulated proton acceleration along a magnetic field singular line made it possible to estimate the magnetic reconnection rate during a flare (∼107 cm s−1). Great flares (of the X class) originate after an increase in the active region magnetic flux up to 1022 Mx.  相似文献

The first attempt at numerical MHD simulations of the appearance of several current sheets above an active region before a series of elementary flares is described. Energy accumulates in the field of each sheet that can be released during one of the flares. The computations started three days before the appearance of a series of flares, i.e., before the emergence of a new magnetic flux in the active region. The initial (potential) magnetic field was calculated by solving the Laplace equation with an oblique derivative. The boundary conditions on the photosphere were specified from maps of the measured magnetic field in the active region for various instants of time. The Peresvet program solving the full system of MHD equations with dissipative terms was used in the computations. An absolutely implicit scheme conservative relative to the magnetic flux was used. The problem of properly choosing the size of the computational domain and finding the positions of singular magnetic field lines is discussed.  相似文献

In the solar system, our Sun is Nature’s most efficient particle accelerator. In large solar flares and fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs), protons and heavy ions can be accelerated to over ~GeV/nucleon. Large flares and fast CMEs often occur together. However there are clues that different acceleration mechanisms exist in these two processes. In solar flares, particles are accelerated at magnetic reconnection sites and stochastic acceleration likely dominates. In comparison, at CME-driven shocks, diffusive shock acceleration dominates. Besides solar flares and CMEs, which are transient events, acceleration of particles has also been observed in other places in the solar system, including the solar wind termination shock, planetary bow shocks, and shocks bounding the Corotation Interaction Regions (CIRs). Understanding how particles are accelerated in these places has been a central topic of space physics. However, because observations of energetic particles are often made at spacecraft near the Earth, propagation of energetic particles in the solar wind smears out many distinct features of the acceleration process. The propagation of a charged particle in the solar wind closely relates to the turbulent electric field and magnetic field of the solar wind through particle-wave interaction. A correct interpretation of the observations therefore requires a thorough understanding of the solar wind turbulence. Conversely, one can deduce properties of the solar wind turbulence from energetic particle observations. In this article I briefly review some of the current state of knowledge of particle acceleration and transport in the inner heliosphere and discuss a few topics which may bear the key features to further understand the problem of particle acceleration and transport.  相似文献

The electrodynamic flare model is based on numerical 3D simulations with the real magnetic field of an active region. An energy of ∼1032 erg necessary for a solar flare is shown to accumulate in the magnetic field of a coronal current sheet. The thermal X-ray source in the corona results from plasma heating in the current sheet upon reconnection. The hard X-ray sources are located on the solar surface at the loop foot-points. They are produced by the precipitation of electron beams accelerated in field-aligned currents. Solar cosmic rays appear upon acceleration in the electric field along a singular magnetic X-type line. The generation mechanism of the delayed cosmic-ray component is also discussed.  相似文献

Data on high-energy processes on the Sun are summarized. We refine the classification of flares and substantiate the view that a coronal mass ejection and a flare proper are manifestations of the same common process, at least for the most powerful events. Next, we analyze data on the acceleration of electrons (RHESSI, Mars Odyssey) and protons. The existence of two peaks of hard X-ray emission spaced 10–20 min apart and the evolution of its spectra are shown to be indicative of two acceleration episodes. We have analyzed the spectra of 172 proton increases identified with the ratio of the proton fluxes at energies above 10 and 100 MeV near the Earth. These spectra turn out to be virtually the same for most of the large flares under favorable conditions for the escape of particles from the corona and their propagation in the interplanetary space. This is an argument for the invariance of the main features of efficient particle acceleration in powerful events. This process takes place at the explosive phase of a flare and its source is located low, immediately above the chromosphere, in the region adjacent to sunspots. There is a reason to believe that, in this case, a rapid simultaneous acceleration of electrons and protons takes place with the capture of some fraction of the particles into magnetic traps. However, there exist a few events in which an additional number of protons with energies as high as 10–30 MeV escape from the corona at the post-eruptive phase of flare development. Analysis of these cases with softer particle spectra more likely suggests an additional particle acceleration at coronal heights (about 30 000 km) than the facilitation of particle escape from magnetic traps. We estimate the contribution from the proton flux at an energy above 10 MeV arising at the post-eruptive phase of a flare to the total particle flux at the maximum of a proton increase and discuss possible particle acceleration mechanisms at significant coronal heights.  相似文献

The Toulouse electron spectrometer flown on the Russian project INTERBALL-Tail performs electron measurements from 10 to 26 000 eV over a 4 solid angle in a satellite rotation period. The INTERBALL-Tail probe was launched on 3 August 1995 together with a subsatellite into a 65° inclination orbit with an apogee of about 30 RE. The INTERBALL mission also includes a polar spacecraft launched in August 1996 for correlated studies of the outer magnetosphere and of the auroral regions. We present new observations concerning the low-latitude boundary layers (LLBL) of the magnetosphere obtained near the dawn magnetic meridian. LLBL are encountered at the interface between two plasma regimes, the magnetosheath and the dayside extension of the plasma sheet. Unexpectedly, the radial extent of the region where LLBL electrons can be sporadically detected as plasma clouds can reach up to 5 RE inside the magnetopause. The LLBL core electrons have an average energy of the order of 100 eV and are systematically field-aligned and counterstreaming. As a trend, the temperature of the LLBL electrons increases with decreasing distance to Earth. Along the satellite orbit, the apparent time of occurrence of LLBL electrons can vary from about 5 to 20 min from one pass to another. An initial first comparison between electron-and magnetic-field measurements indicates that the LLBL clouds coincide with a strong increase in the magnetic field (by up to a factor of 2). The resulting strong magnetic field gradient can explain why the plasma-sheet electron flux in the keV range is strongly depressed in LLBL occurrence regions (up to a factor of 10). We also show that LLBL electron encounters are related to field-aligned current structures and that wide LLBL correspond to northward interplanetary magnetic field. Evidence for LLBL/plasma-sheet electron leakage into the magnetosheath during southward IMF is also presented.  相似文献
