Netherlands Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT Axisymmetric stellar wind solutions are presented, obtained by numerically solving the ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. Stationary solutions are critically analysed using the knowledge of the flux functions. These flux functions enter in the general variational principle governing all axisymmetric stationary ideal MHD equilibria. The magn...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of stellar winds: polytropic models
We discuss steady-state transonic outflows obtained by direct numerical solution of the hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic equations. We make use of the Versatile Advection Code, a software package for solving systems of (hyperbolic) partial differential equations. We proceed stepwise from a spherically symmetric, isothermal, unmagnetized, non-rotating Parker wind to arrive at axisymmetric, p...
متن کاملNumerical Simulations of Magnetized Winds of Solar-Like Stars
We investigate magnetized solar-like stellar winds by means of self-consistent threedimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) numerical simulations. We analyze winds with different magnetic field intensities and densities as to explore the dependence on the plasma-β parameter. By solving the fully ideal 3D MHD equations, we show that the plasma-β parameter is the crucial parameter in the conf...
متن کاملSystematic Construction of Exact MHD models for Astrophysical Winds and Jets
By a systematic method we construct general classes of exact and selfconsistent axisymmetric MHD solutions describing flows which originate at the near environment of a central gravitating astrophysical object. The unifying scheme contains two large groups of exact MHD outflow models, (I) meridionally self-similar ones with spherical critical surfaces and (II) radially self-similar models with ...
متن کاملModels of Forbidden Line Emission Profiles from Axisymmetric Stellar Winds
A number of strong infrared forbidden lines have been observed in several evolved Wolf-Rayet star winds, and these are important for deriving metal abundances and testing stellar evolution models. In addition, because these optically thin lines form at large radius in the wind, their resolved profiles carry an imprint of the asymptotic structure of the wind flow. This work presents model forbid...
