Boltzmann Method

In order to deeply investigate the gas heat conduction of nanoporous aerogel, a model of gas heat conduction was established based on microstructure of aerogel. Lattice Boltzmann method was used to simulate the temperature distribution and gas thermal conductivity at different size, and the size effects of gas heat conduction have had been obtained under micro-scale conditions. It can be concluded that the temperature jump on the boundary was not obvious and the thermal conductivity remained basically constant when the value of Knudsen number was less than 0.01; as the value of Knudsen number increased from 0.01 to 0.1, there was a clear temperature jump on the boundary and the thermal conductivity tended to decrease and the effect of boundary scattering increased drastically, as the value of Knudsen number was more than 0.1, the temperature jump increased significantly on the boundary, furtherly, the thermal conductivity decreased dramatically, and the size effects were significantly.

AbstractWe carried out 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations of a subcluster moving in turbulent ICM by including anisotropic heat conduction. Since magnetic fields stretched along the subcluster surface suppress the heat conduction across the front, cold fronts are formed and sustained.

Anisotropic Heat Conduction

Clusters of galaxies are embedded in halos of optically thin, gravitationally stratified, weakly magnetized plasma at the system’s virial temperature. Owing to radiative cooling and anisotropic heat conduction, such intracluster medium (ICM) is subject to local instabilities, which are combinations of the thermal, magnetothermal and heat-flux-driven buoyancy instabilities. If the ICM rotates significantly, its stability properties are substantially modified and, in particular, also the magnetorotational instability (MRI) can play an important role. We study simple models of rotating cool-core clusters and we demonstrate that the MRI can be the dominant instability over significant portions of the clusters, with possible implications for the dynamics and evolution of the cool cores. Our results give further motivation for measuring the rotation of the ICM with future X-ray missions such as ASTRO-H and ATHENA.
