Resonant behaviour of MHD waves on magnetic flux tubes     

Marcel Goossens  Joseph V. Hollweg 《Solar physics》1993,145(1):19-44

Resonant absorption of MHD waves on a nonuniform flux tube is investigated as a driven problem for a 1D cylindrical equilibrium. The variation of the fractional absorption is studied as a function of the frequency and its relation to the eigenvalue problem of the MHD radiating eigenmodes of the nonuniform flux tube is established. The optimal frequencies producing maximal fractional absorption are determined and the condition for total absorption is obtained. This condition defines an impedance matching and is fulfilled for an equilibrium that is fine tuned with respect to the incoming wave. The variation of the spatial wave solutions with respect to the frequency is explained as due to the variation of the real and imaginary parts of the dispersion relation of the MHD radiating eigenmodes with respect to the real driving frequency.  相似文献

Numerical simulation of coronal heating by resonant absorption of Alfvén waves   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Stefaan Poedts  Marcel Goossens  Wolfgang Kerner 《Solar physics》1989,123(1):83-115

The heating of coronal loops by resonant absorption of Alfvén waves is studied in compressible, resistive magnetohydrodynamics. The loops are approximated by straight cylindrical, axisymmetric plasma columns and the incident waves which excite the coronal loops are modelled by a periodic external driver. The stationary state of this system is determined with a numerical code based on the finite element method. Since the power spectrum of the incident waves is not well known, the intrinsic dissipation is computed. The intrinsic dissipation spectrum is independent of the external driver and reflects the intrinsic ability of the coronal loops to extract energy from incident waves by the mechanism of resonant absorption.The numerical results show that resonant absorption is very efficient for typical parameter values occurring in the loops of the solar corona. A considerable part of the energy supplied by the external driver, is actually dissipated Ohmically and converted into heat. The heating of the plasma is localized in a narrow resonant layer with a width proportional to ^1/3. The energy dissipation rate is almost independent of the resistivity for the relevant values of this parameter. The efficiency of the heating mechanism and the localization of the heating strongly depend on the frequency of the external driver. Resonant absorption is extremely efficient when the plasma is excited with a frequency near the frequency of a so-called collective mode.  相似文献   

The thermal continuum in coronal loops: The influence of finite resistivity on the continuous spectrum     

R. C. Ireland  R. A. M. Van Der Linden  A. W. Hood  M. Goossens 《Solar physics》1992,142(2):265-289

The normal mode spectrum for the linearized MHD equations is investigated for a cylindrical equilibrium. This spectrum is examined for zero perpendicular thermal conduction, with both zero and non-zero scalar resistivity. Particular attention is paid to the continuous branches of this spectrum, or continuous spectra. For zero resistivity there are three types of continuous spectra present, namely the Alfvén, slow, and thermal continua. It is shown that when dissipation due to resistivity is included, the slow and Alfvén continua are removed and that the thermal continuum is shifted to a different position (where the shift is independent of the exact value of resistivity). The old location of the thermal continuum is covered by a dense set of nearly singular discrete modes called a quasi-continuum. The quasi-continuum is investigated numerically, and the eigenfunctions are shown to have rapid spatial oscillating behaviour. These oscillations are confined to the most unstable part of the equilibrium based on the Field criterion, and may be the cause of fine structure in prominences.  相似文献   

WKB estimates for the onset of ideal MHD instabilities in solar coronal loops     

A. W. Hood  P. De Bruyne  R. A. M. Van Der Linden  M. Goossens 《Solar physics》1994,150(1-2):99-115

A WKB approach, based on the method of Connor, Hastie, and Taylor (1979), is used to obtain simple estimates of the critical conditions for the onset of ideal MHD instabilities in line-tied solar coronal loops. The method is illustrated for the constant twist, Gold-Hoyle (1960) field, and the critical conditions are compared with previous and new numerical results. For the force-free case, the WKB estimate for the critical loop length reduces to . For the sufficiently non-force-free case the critical length can be expressed in the forml ₀ +l ₁/m. The results confirm the findings of De Bruyne and Hood (1992) that for force-free fields them = 1 mode is the first mode to become unstable but for the sufficiently strong non-force-free case this reverses with them → ∞ mode being excited first.  相似文献

The granulometrical characteristics of a slowly-moving dust cloud   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Dirk Goossens 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1985,10(4):353-362

A torn-up road offered the opportunity to sample a dust cloud continuously at different heights during a time interval of 51 hours. In particular the granulometrical characteristics of the dust caught were investigated. It appears that if the air layer in the vicinity of a dust cloud is not too turbulent, the cloud will be clearly granulometrically stratified. The coarse material moves chiefly at the bottom of the cloud, whereas the fine material will occur both at the bottom and at the top. The experiment also shows that the higher the dust in the cloud, the worse it is sorted. Above a critical height, however, the degree of sorting increases again. The variation of the mean dust diameter d₅₀, as a function of the height z, can be expressed in a simple semi-logarithmic equation. The variation of the dust quantity G, as a function of the height z, can also be expressed in a semi-logarithmic form but the correlation is higher when a power equation is used. The ratio of fine silt to coarse silt seems to vary parabolically with height. One can only speak of an optimal transport height in the case of particles > 16 μm. For finer particles, the turbulence of a normal air stream is usually high enough to carry the particles anywhere in the dust cloud, so that one can no longer speak of an optimal transport height. The granulometrical border between aeolian transport in saltation and aeolian transport in suspension lies, according to the results of the experiment, at a diameter of about 63 μm.  相似文献

Bacterial contribution to sedimentary organic matter; a comparative study of lipid moieties in bacteria and Recent sediments     

H. Goossens  W. Irene  C. Rijpstra  R.R. Düren  J.W. De Leeuw  P.A. Schenck 《Organic Geochemistry》1986,10(4-6)

A systematic study of the lipid composition of thirteen bacterial species and three Recent sediments (methanogenic sediment, cyanobacterial mat and evaporative gypsum crust) was undertaken in an attempt to recognize bacterial organic matter in sediments. A sequential method, which distinguishes between three different modes of occurrence of lipid moieties (free, OH⁻- and H⁺-labile), was applied. The acid-labile fractions are discussed.The three main groups of bacteria, archaebacteria, gram-positive eubacteria and gram-negative eubacteria, are easily distinguished. Methanogenic and extremely halophilic archaebacteria are characterized by the presence of diphytanyl glyceryl ether and the absence of fatty acids. The gram-positive eubacteria contain primarily iso- and anteiso-branched fatty acids whereas the gram-negative bacteria and sediments are dominated by β- and α-hydroxy fatty acids. A wide variety of H⁺-labile hydroxy fatty acids was observed which included several, as yet unknown, structures.β-Hydroxy fatty acids in this H⁺-labile mode of occurrence are exclusively present in bacteria. Their distribution patterns in sediments are considered “fingerprints” of past and present bacterial populations. The specific differences in β -hydroxy fatty acid compositions observed in the different bacteria and the three sediments investigated, suggest that amide-linked β-hydroxy fatty acid patterns are useful as markers of bacterial populations and therefore of environmental conditions.  相似文献   

The aeolian dust accumulation curve     

Dirk Goossens 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2001,26(11):1213-1219

This article presents a simple physical concept of aeolian dust accumulation, based on the behaviour of the subprocesses of dust deposition and dust erosion. The concept is tested in an aeolian dust wind tunnel. The agreement between the accumulation curve predicted by the model and the accumulation curve obtained in the experiments is close to perfect and shows that it is necessary to discriminate between the processes of aeolian dust deposition and aeolian dust accumulation. Two important thresholds determine the accumulation process. For wind speeds below the deflation threshold, the aeolian accumulation of dust increases linearly with the wind speed. For wind velocities between the deflation threshold and the accumulation limit, the sedimentation balance is above unity and there is still accumulation, though it rapidly drops once the deflation threshold has been exceeded. At wind speeds beyond the accumulation limit, the sedimentation balance is below unity and there will no longer be an accumulation of dust. The thresholds have been determined in a wind tunnel test at friction velocity u_* = 0·34 m s^?1 (deflation threshold) and u_* = 0·43 m s^?1 (accumulation limit), but these values are only indicative since they depend heavily on the characteristics of the accumulation surface and of the airborne grains.
