Numerical Simulation of High Mach Number Astrophysical Jets with Radiative Cooling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computational fluid dynamics simulations using the WENO-LF method are applied to high Mach number nonrelativistic astrophysical jets, including the effects of radiative cooling. Our numerical methods have allowed us to simulate astrophysical jets at much higher Mach numbers than have been attained (Mach 20) in the literature. Our simulations of the HH 1-2 astrophysical jets are at Mach 80. Simulations at high Mach numbers and with radiative cooling are essential for achieving detailed agreement with the astrophysical images.

Positive Scheme Numerical Simulation of High Mach Number Astrophysical Jets
High Mach number astrophysical jets are simulated using a positive scheme, and are compared with WENO-LF simulations. A version of the positive scheme has allowed us to simulate astrophysical jets with radiative cooling up to Mach number 270 with respect to the heavy jet gas, a factor of two times higher than the maximum Mach number attained with the WENO schemes and ten times higher than with ...
متن کاملSimulations of Supersonic Astrophysical Jets and Their Environments Using Level Set Methods
Computational fluid dynamics simulations using the WENO method and level set method are applied to high Mach number nonrelativistic astrophysical jets, including the effects of radiative cooling. WENO methods introduced in Liu et al. (J. Comput. Phys., 115:200–212, 1994) have allowed us to simulate HH 1-2 astrophysical jets at Mach number much higher than Mach 80 (Ha et al. in J. Sci. Comput. 2...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Jets Produced by Intense Laser
In this paper we present a numerical study of plasma jets produced by intense laser matter interactions. Through this study we hope to better understand astrophysical jets and their recent experimental simulations in the laboratory. We paid special attention to radiation cooling and the interaction of the jet with ambient gas. Four cases are presented in this paper; two of them deal with the pr...
متن کاملEffects of Cooling on the Propagation of Magnetized Jets
We present multi-dimensional simulations of magnetized radiative jets appropriate to Young Stellar Objects. Magnetized jets subject to collisionally excited radiative losses have not, as yet, received extensive scrutiny. The purpose of this letter is to articulate the propagation dynamics of radiative MHD jets in the context of the extensive jet literature. Most importantly, we look for morphol...
متن کاملThe Stability of Radiatively Cooled Jets in Three Dimensions
The effect of optically thin radiative cooling on the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of three dimensional jets is investigated via linear stability theory and nonlinear hydrodynamical simulation. Two different cooling functions are considered: radiative cooling is found to have a significant effect on the stability of the jet in each case. The wavelengths and growth rates of unstable modes in the...
