Turbulent magnetic pressure instability in stratified turbulence
A reduction of total mean turbulent pressure due to the presence of magnetic fields was previously shown to be a measurable effect in direct numerical simulations. However, in the studied parameter regime the formation of large-scale structures, as anticipated from earlier mean-field simulations, was not found. An analysis of the relevant mean-field parameter dependency and the parameter domain...

متن کاملRam pressure stripping in a viscous intracluster medium
In the recent literature there is circumstantial evidence that the viscosity of the intracluster medium may not be too far from the Spitzer value. In this letter, we present two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of ram pressure stripping of disc galaxies in a viscous intracluster medium (ICM). The values of viscosity explored range between 0.1 and 1.0 times the Spitzer value. We find that ...
متن کاملIntracluster Stars and the Chemical Enrichment of the Intracluster Medium
We explore the contribution of intracluster stars (ICS) to the chemical enrichment history of the intracluster medium (ICM). In contrast to scenarios in which all the metals originate in cluster galaxies and are then transported into the ICM, intracluster stars enrich the ICM in situ, thereby contributing 100% of their supernovae ejecta directly into the ICM. Modeling the ICS as an ancient, sin...
متن کاملTurbulence and Mixing in the Intracluster Medium
The intracluster medium (ICM) is stably stratified in the hydrodynamic sense with the entropy s increasing outwards. However, thermal conduction along magnetic field lines fundamentally changes the stability of the ICM, leading to the “heat-flux buoyancy instability” when dT/dr > 0 and the “magnetothermal instability” when dT/dr < 0. The ICM is thus buoyantly unstable regardless of the signs of...
