Resolved shocks in clumpy media
We study the structure of shocks in clumpy media, using a multifluid formalism. As expected, shocks broaden as they weaken: for sufficiently weak shocks, no viscous sub-shock appears in the structure. This has significant implications for the survival of dense clouds in regions overrun by shocks in a wide range of astrophysical circumstances , from planetary nebulae to the nuclei of starburst g...
متن کاملClumpy shocks and the clump mass function
One possible mechanism for the formation of molecular clouds is large scale colliding flows. In this paper, we examine whether clumpy, colliding, flows could be responsible for the clump mass functions that have been observed in several regions of embedded star formation, which have been shown to be described by a Salpeter type slope. The flows presented here, which comprise a population of ini...
متن کاملStructure and Stationarity of Quasi-perpendicular Shocks: Numerical simulations
This paper presents an overview of numerical simulation studies of fast collisionless shocks and compares these simulation results with observations of the Earth’s bow shock and theoretical works. Especially, we review the structure and stationarity of the supercritical quasi-perpendicular shocks. In situ observations indicate that these shocks are generally quasi-stationary whereas full partic...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of stellar SiO maser variability Investigation of the effect of shocks
A stellar hydrodynamic pulsation model has been combined with a SiO maser model in an attempt to calculate the temporal variability of SiO maser emission in the circumstellar envelope (CE) of a model AGB star. This study investigates whether the variations in local physical conditions brought about by shocks are the predominant contributing factor to SiO maser variability because, in this work,...
متن کاملNUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF THE PHASE TRANSITIONS IN CLUSTERS
We have studied the phase transitions in atomic clusters by molecular dynamics simulation, assuming Lennard-Jones interatomic pair potential. Calculations are performed by DAP parallel computer. The results are analyzed by simulating their orientational distribution plots (dot-plot), and neutron diffraction patterns. It is shown that all the main features of the bulk phase transitions are e...
