Plasma outflow from a gravitational potential well with cosmic rays and
self-excited Alfv’en waves with cooling and wave damping is studied in the
hydrodynamics regime. We study outflows in the presence of cosmic ray and
Alfv’en waves including the effect of cooling and wave damping. We seek
physically allowable steady-state subsonic-supersonic transonic solutions. We
adopted a multi-fluid hydrodynamical model for the cosmic ray plasma system.
Thermal plasma, cosmic rays, and self-excited Alfv’en waves are treated as
fluids. Interactions such as cosmic-ray streaming instability, cooling, and
wave damping were fully taken into account. We considered one-dimensional
geometry and explored steady-state solutions. The model is reduced to a set of
ordinary differential equations, which we solved for subsonic-supersonic
transonic solutions with given boundary conditions at the base of the
gravitational potential well. We find that physically allowable
subsonic-supersonic transonic solutions exist for a wide range of parameters.
We studied the three-fluid system (considering only forward-propagating
Alfv’en waves) in detail. We examined the cases with and without cosmic ray
diffusion separately. Comparisons of solutions with and without cooling and
with and without wave damping for the same set of boundary conditions (on
density, pressures of thermal gas, cosmic rays and waves) are presented. We
also present the interesting case of a four-fluid system (both forward- and
backward-propagating Alfv’en waves are included), highlighting the intriguing
relation between different components.
