This work investigates the dynamical evolution of a rotating magnetic star which drives a stellar wind. The basic magnetic field of the star is supposed symmetric about an axis, which is inclined at an angle X to the rotation axis k (Figure 1). We adopt the familiar equations of an inviscid perfectly conducting gas. In a steady state, the velocity as seen in a frame rotating with the star is taken as

Abstract. In order to improve the convergence of nonlinear simulation of wind pressure on buildings by turbulence theory pattern, QSMA technique is proposed based on full implicit marching-on in time method in CFX. During marching-on in time, the unit time step and non-convergence tolerance test are employed to approximate the steady state solution in this technique. Comparing with the traditional method, the proposed technique can reduce the restriction for time step and requirement for the target tolerance significantly. It is mathematically proved that the time discretization scheme is stable and the error transfer tends to zero with QSMA technique. Through numerical analysis for flow around Marakami 3D cubic, the research result indicates that solution accuracy and time consumption of QSMA are consistent with traditional steady state method, but the convergence is better.

AbstractWe model the magnetized interaction between a star and a close-in planet (SPMIs), using global, magnetohydrodynamic numerical simulations. In this proceedings, we study the effects of the numerical boundary conditions at the stellar surface, where the stellar wind is driven, and in the planetary interior. We show that is it possible to design boundary conditions that are adequate to obtain physically realistic, steady-state solutions for cases with both magnetized and unmagnetized planets. This encourages further development of numerical studies, in order to better constrain and undersand SPMIs, as well as their effects on the star-planet rotational evolution.

Previous work by Castor, Abbott, and Klein (1975) presented a self-consistent model of a steady-state stellar wind. They also showed qualitatively that for O stars at least a static atmosphere could not exist. This paper extends that result by calculating in detail the minimum luminosity as a function of effective temperature required for the line radiation force to exceed gravity. Within the observational and theoretical uncertainty there is a one-to-one correspondence between a star's calculated ability to self-initiate a stellar wind by radiation pressure alone and the observed presence of outflowing material in the UV resonance lines.

Abstract Planetary habitability is in part determined by the atmospheric evolution of a planet; one key component of such evolution is escape of heavy ions to space. Ion-loss processes are sensitive to the plasma environment of the planet, dictated by the stellar wind and stellar radiation. These conditions are likely to vary from what we observe in our own Solar system when considering a planet in the habitable zone around an M-dwarf. Here, we use a hybrid global plasma model to perform a systematic study of the changing plasma environment and ion escape as a function of stellar input conditions, which are designed to mimic those of potentially habitable planets orbiting M-dwarfs. We begin with a nominal case of a solar wind experienced at Mars today, and incrementally modify the interplanetary magnetic field orientation and strength, dynamic pressure, and Extreme Ultraviolet input. We find that both ion-loss morphology and overall rates vary significantly, and in cases where the stellar wind pressure was increased, the ion loss began to be diffusion or production limited with roughly half of all produced ions being lost. This limit implies that extreme care must be taken when extrapolating loss processes observed in the Solar system to extreme environments.

AbstractA set of equations of stellar wind in a new steady state in spherically symmetry is presented. This equations are available also for the deep interior of stars, whereas the usual equations can be applied only to the surface region. The new equations have a variable mass flux which becomes zero at the inner boundary of the mass flow. The velocity also reduces zerj), whereas it diverges at r=0 in the usual continuity equation 4∏r2ρ v=constant. In the surface region, the present equations approach the usual equations.
