| Abstract: |
We present a 3D numerical model to simulate plasma flows in close
binary systems with accretors having strong proper magnetic
fields. The model is based on an assumption that plasma dynamics
is determined by a slow average flow against a background of
propagating MHD waves. Equations describing the slow plasma motion
are obtained as a result of the corresponding averaging procedure.
The model takes into account the magnetic diffusivity which is due
to the current dissipation in turbulent vortexes, magnetic
buoyancy and wave MHD turbulence. We present results of the
simulations for MHD flows in a polar-like binary system. |
