Determining the Plasma Parameters of Solar Prominences

在过去的一年里，我取得了以下成果：1）确定湍流速度谱的连续性。寻找能量注入尺度以及能量级联和逆级联的证据。发现了Kolmogorov和Kraichnan-Iroshnikov两个著名的湍流谱。现在已经准备好了，正在用于天体物理学研究。新的数值方法的发展，以改善使用该代码在天体物理设置。3）发现离子中性分离的MHD开尔文-亥姆霍兹不稳定性的结果，在部分电离等离子体的一个突出。在许多情况下，我已经表明，一个离子中性离心形成，创建一个漩涡与一个强电离的核心。4）模型的慢激波形成和动力学演化的部分电离等离子体。激波显示出一种有趣的结构，实际激波的形成高度依赖于流体动力马赫数。

Over the past 1 year I have achieved the following:1) Determination of turbulent velocity spectra in prominences. Finding evidence of the energy injection scales and of both a cascade and inverse cascade of energy. Both the famous turbulent spectra: Kolmogorov and Kraichnan-Iroshnikov were discovered.2) Full completion of the (PIP) code, a coding project led by myself. This is now ready and is being used for astrophysical research. New numerical methods were developed to improve the use of this code in astrophysical settings.3) Discovery of ion-neutral separation as a result of the MHD Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the partially ionized plasma of a prominence. In many case I have shown that an ion-neutral centrifuge is formed, creating a vortex with a strongly ionized core.4) Model of slow-shock formation and dynamical evolution in a partially ionized plasma. The shocks show an interesting structure, with the formation of an actual shock highly dependent on the hydrodynamic Mach number.
