Non-linear amplification of a magnetic field driven by cosmic ray streaming     

S. G. Lucek  A. R. Bell 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2000,314(1):65-74

One-, two- and three-dimensional numerical results of the non-linear interaction between cosmic rays and a magnetic field are presented. These show that cosmic ray streaming drives large-amplitude Alfvénic waves. The cosmic ray streaming energy is very efficiently transferred to the perturbed magnetic field of the Alfvén waves, and the non-linear time-scale of the growth of the waves is found to be very rapid, of the order of the gyro-period of the cosmic ray. Thus, a magnetic field of interstellar values, assumed in models of supernova remnant blast wave acceleration, would not be appropriate in the region of the shock. The increased magnetic field reduces the cosmic ray acceleration time and so increases the maximum cosmic ray energy, which may provide a simple and elegant resolution to the highest energy Galactic cosmic ray problem, where the cosmic rays themselves provide the fields necessary for their acceleration.  相似文献   

Nonlinear and 3D effects in leaky infragravity waves     

A. R. Van Dongeren  I. A. Svendsen   《Coastal Engineering》2000,41(4)

In this paper, infragravity (IG) waves, forced by normally and obliquely incident wave groups, are studied using the quasi-3D (Q3D) nearshore circulation model SHORECIRC [Van Dongeren, A.R., I.A. Svendsen, 1997b. Quasi 3-D modeling of nearshore hydrodynamics. Research report CACR-97-04. Center for Applied Coastal Research, University of Delaware, Newark, 243 pp.], which includes the Q3D effects. The governing equations that form the basis of the model, as well as the numerical model and the boundary conditions, are described. The model is applied to the case of leaky IG waves. It is shown that the Q3D terms have a significant effect on the cross-shore variation of the surface elevation envelope, especially around the breakpoint and in the inner surf zone. The effect of wave groupiness on the temporal and spatial variation of all Q3D terms is shown after which their contribution to the momentum equations is analyzed. This reveals that only those Q3D coefficients, which appear in combination with the largest horizontal velocity shears make a significant contribution to the momentum equations. As a result of the calculation of the Q3D coefficients, the IG wave velocity profiles can be determined. This shows that in the surf zone, the velocity profiles exhibit a large curvature and time variation in the cross-shore direction, and a small — but essential — depth variation in the longshore direction.  相似文献

Quasi-harmonic faraday-rotation fluctuations of radio waves when sounding the outer solar corona     

A. I. Efimov  L. N. Samoznaev  V. E. Andreev  I. V. Chashei  M. K. Bird 《Astronomy Letters》2000,26(8):544-552

A statistical analysis of the Faraday-rotation fluctuations (FRFs) of linearly polarized radio signals from the Helios 1 and Helios 2 spacecraft shows that the FRF time power spectra can be of three types. Spectra of the first type are well fitted by a single power law in the range of fluctuation frequencies 1–10 mHz. Spectra of the second type are a superposition of a power law and two quasi-harmonic components with fluctuation frequencies of about v₁=4 mHz (fundamental frequency) and v₂=8 mHz (second harmonic). Spectra of the third type exhibit only one of the two quasi-harmonic components against the background of a power law. The spectral density of the quasi-harmonic components can be represented by a resonance curve with a fairly broad [Δυ ≈ (0.5–1.3)υ_1,2] distribution relative to the v=v_{1, 2} peak. The intensity of the quasi-harmonic FRF has a radial dependence that roughly matches the radial dependence for the background FRF, while their period at the fundamental frequency is approximately equal to the period of the wellknown 5-min oscillations observed in the lower solar atmosphere. The fluctuations with 5-min periods in FRF records can be explained by the presence in the outer corona of isolated trains of Alfvén waves generated at the base of the chromosphere-corona transition layer and by acoustic waves coming from deeper layers.  相似文献   

Shock waves with large energy losses by direct radiation from the front     

E. K. Grasberg 《Astronomy Letters》2000,26(9):582-588

Highly nonadiabatic shock waves are formed at an early stage of a supernova explosion inside a stellar wind because of the large energy losses by direct radiation from the front. The properties of such waves are considered for velocities of (5?25)×10³km s^?1 and gas densities of 10^?17?10^?10 g cm^?3. A critical energy flux going to “infinity” that separates two modes is shown to exist. If the flux is lower than the critical one, then energy losses cause even an increase in the post-shock temperature. An excess of the flux over its critical value results in an abrupt cooling and in a strong compression of the gas. For the flux equal to the critical one, the post-shock gas velocity matches the isothermal speed of sound. Approximate formulas are given for estimating the degree of gas compression and the post-shock radiation-to-gas pressure ratio at energy losses equal to the critical ones and for the limiting compression.  相似文献
