双离子成分下的赤道电离层R-T不稳定性

等离子体R-T(Rayleigh-Taylor)不稳定性被认为是赤道夜间F区电离层产生不规则体的主要机制, 经典理论中只考虑了氧离子一种正离子成分, 等离子体R-T不稳定性的表达式与氧离子质量和密度无关. 事实上, 在有些情况下, 电离层F区往往不仅仅只有一种正离子存在. 本文利用连续性方程、动量方程和电流守恒方程, 采用微扰方法, 推导了双离子成分条件下, 赤道电离层R-T不稳定性线性增长率的表达式, 研究多种正离子成分对R-T不稳定性的影响. 结果表明, 双离子成分下线性增长率与两种正离子的数密度和质量都相关, 增长率的大小依赖于两种正离子成分所占的比例.      

部分球壳分布离子流激发的电磁不稳定性

在离子环束流和低频电磁波相互作用的过程中廓了环束流将演化成具有投掷角展宽的部分球壳速度分布离子流,其投掷角展宽随时间增大,低频右旋电磁不稳定性增长率峰值,总的说来也逐渐增大,并向高频短波方向移动,与此相反,低频左旋电磁不稳定性增长率峰值,当投掷 角展宽等于０时,大于右旋不稳定性峰值,但随着投掷角展宽增加而迅速低于右 性增长率峰值,并向工波方向移动。     

磁尾静电离子束流-密度漂移不稳定性的数值研究

本文研究了磁尾等离子体片边界层宽频带静电噪声的产生机制.模型等离子体由暖的背景电子、暖的向地球方向的离子束流和较冷的向尾方向的离子束流组成.结果表明,静电离子束流-密度漂移不稳定性可以在比较宽的频率范围内激发,在低频区大传播角方向上增长率最大,在高频区小传播角方向上增长率也比较大。最大增长率的方向取决于离子束流和密度漂移的速度比值.这些结果与磁尾观测到的宽频带静电噪声特征符合一致.      

声重波激发的赤道 Spread—F 不稳定性

本文导出了声重波扰动与赤道电离层扩展F层相互作用的基本方程,并对数值模拟结果进行了讨论。结果表明当声重波扰动与Kavleigh-Taylor不稳定性共同作用于赤道F层时,将导致大尺度波状结构的Spread-F.其特征为以一定速度漂移的准周期不规则性,发展到后期伴有羽柱形状的bubble(电子密度低区)产生。这种现状的bubble可上升至F层顶部并发生倾斜。声重波波矢量的方向决定着羽柱的倾斜方向。这些结果与实验观测特征相符,说明声重波扰动不仅是大尺度Saread-F的触发源,而且对其整个形态发展过程起着重要的作用。

The effect of temperature gradient on the motion of a bubble in reduced gravity

The bubble motion is described as a function of thermal variation of surface tension of a bubble, temperature gradient, gravity, bubble diameter, viscosity and density. The relations among those values are shown in graphs, from which the requirements for the measurements to ascertain the velocity due to thermal variation of surface tension are made clear. According to these requirements, the experiments on the velocity of the bubble in a temperature gradient were conducted and the Marangoni effect on a bubble motion was ascertained.     

关于行星际磁场螺旋扇形过渡区稳定性的分析

本文利用四层模式,讨论了ME型行星际磁场螺旋扇形过渡区的稳定性。结果表明:(1)ME型过渡区中可以激发三种大尺度波动,且三种波动都存在低频截止;(2)随着波数k增大,不稳定性的增长率都有上升的趋势,但其中A型波动的增长率存在一个极大值和一个极小值;(3)当k与扇形区中太阳风速度V_q呈平行或反平行时,波动最易被激发;随着k与V_q之间夹角变大,截止波长逐渐向短波段移动;当k与V_q相垂直时,波动则不能被激发;(4)当k与V_q夹角呈75°时,可以激发波长为5×104km、相速为340 km/s的波动,这与Voyager 1飞船在磁层顶处的观测结果相一致。由此推断,螺旋扇形过渡区中激发的波动可能是导致磁层顶K-H不稳定性的一种扰动源。      

Effect of gravity on coupled convective and interfacial instabilities during directional solidification

We investigate the role of gravity in a linear stability analysis of the onset of coupled convective and morphological instabilities during directional solidification at constant velocity of a dilute alloy of tin in lead. For solidification vertically upwards, the temperature gradient alone would cause a negative density gradient and the solute gradient alone would cause a positive density gradient. Two types of instability are found, a convective type that occurs for long wavelengths and a morphological type that occurs for short wavelengths. In general, these are coupled but the morphological instabilities are practically independent of gravity and thus correspond to the predictions of previous morphological stability theory in which density changes and convection are neglected. The convective instabilities depend strongly on gravity; for a growth velocity of V = 1 μm/s and a temperature gradient in the liquid of G_L = 200 K/cm, the critical concentrations for convective instabilities are 3.1 × 10^?4, 3.1 × 10^?2 and 2.39 wt. % for g_e = 980 cm/s², 10^?4 g_e and 10^?6 g_e, respectively. For low velocities, the convective instabilities occur at much lower solute concentrations than the morphological instabilities whereas at high velocities, the reverse is true. At intermediate velocities where the changeover takes place, there are oscillitory instabilities of mixed character whose periods range from 60 s at g_e to 6 × 10⁴ s at 10^?6 g_e.     

逆压梯度湍流边界层中的相干结构

利用流动稳定性理论中一般共振三波的概念对4种定常逆压梯度以及两种变逆压梯度湍流边界层的相干结构进行研究.其中2种变逆压梯度分别为压力梯度由小变大和由大变小,变化的终了具有相同的压力梯度.通过计算得出逆压梯度能够激励相干结构的生成和发展,而且逆压梯度越大作用越强.在变压力梯度流动中,压力梯度由大变小的情况对相干结构的激励最强.此外,逆压梯度使相干结构的流向尺度变小,而展向间距基本在100个粘性长度左右,这些变化趋势与实验以及直接数值模拟结果一致.     

关于太阳日冕磁环的稳定性

本文指出:在过去多数的日冕磁环稳定性的研究中,都存在一个未作说明、却又不容忽视的问题,即无形中都在磁环边缘处用了固壁边界条件,而它的采用与否对结果影响极大;另外在这些研究中只考虑m=1的模式也是不够的。这些问题都有待于进一步研究。

Magnetically driven jets from accretion disks: The effect of magneto-rotational instability

We present the results of 2.5-dimensional MHD simulations for jet formation from accretion disks in a situation such that the magneto-rotational instability is occurring in the disk. When there is no initial perturbation in the disk, the surface layer falls faster than the equatorial part to make a surface avalanche and associated jets. However, if we input an initially large perturbation (> 10% of sound speed) in the disk, the dense region of the disk falls on an orbital time scale to make a more violent accretion and jet. In this case, the accretion rate and mass loss rates are an order of magnitude larger than those in the case without initial perturbation. The speed of the jet is of order the Keplerian velocity of the disk regardless of the instability.     

A fast tearing mode instability driven by agyrotropic electron pressure

The collisionless plasma environment at the current sheet of the Earth’s magnetotail is subjected to fast dynamic evolutions such as tearing instability. By considering agyrotropic pressure for electron and ion components of a collisionless plasma, we analytically investigate the dynamics of tearing mode instability, in which, breaking the frozen-in condition can either be provided by the electron inertia or by agyrotropic electron pressure. A set of linearized Hall-Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations describes the evolution of tearing mode in a sheared force-free field. The presented scaling analysis shows that if the plasma-β$\beta$ exceeds a specified value, then the main mechanism of magnetic reconnection process is the nongyrotropic electron pressure. In this regime, the role played by agyrotropic ion pressure inside the reconnection layer is out of significance. Therefore, the electron-MHD framework, adequately, describes the dynamics of tearing instability with a growth rate which is much faster compared to the cases with a dominated bulk inertia or a gyrotropic plasma pressure.     

The revised eccentric binary model for X Persei (4U 0352 + 30)

The eccentric binary model for X Persei is discussed with a view to most recent determination of mass, radius and mass loss rate. The existence of such a system depends critically on the value of viscosity in the outer layers of the star and, in the case where viscosity is induced by shear turbolence, on the axial rotational velocity. The parameters of the binary system are derived in the most favourable case.     

Dynamics of stellar systems: Violent relaxation and gravothermal catastrophe

The gravitational evolution of stellar systems exhibit collective and collisional effects. Collective effects (Violent Relaxation) seems to be unefficient to create any structure or to relax the distribution function. Gravothermal Catastrophe is shown to be a real instability driven by collisions, but its time scale is very long compared to astrophysical times. It is suggested that intermediate range perturbations may modify these conclusions.     

Kink-like mode of a double gradient instability in a compressible plasma current sheet

A linear MHD instability of the electric current sheet, characterized by a small normal magnetic field component, varying along the sheet, is investigated. The tangential magnetic field component is modeled by a hyperbolic function, describing Harris-like variations of the field across the sheet. For this problem, which is formulated in a 3D domain, the conventional compressible ideal MHD equations are applied. By assuming Fourier harmonics along the electric current, the linearized 3D equations are reduced to 2D ones. A finite difference numerical scheme is applied to examine the time evolution of small initial perturbations of the plasma parameters. This work is an extended numerical study of the so called “double gradient instability”, – a possible candidate for the explanation of flapping oscillations in the magnetotail current sheet, which has been analyzed previously in the framework of a simplified analytical approach for an incompressible plasma. The dispersion curve is obtained for the kink-like mode of the instability. It is shown that this curve demonstrates a quantitative agreement with the previous analytical result. The development of the instability is investigated also for various enhanced values of the normal magnetic field component. It is found that the characteristic values of the growth rate of the instability shows a linear dependence on the square root of the parameter, which scales uniformly the normal component of the magnetic field in the current sheet.
