Numerical Simulations of Molecular Turbulence

Over the last thirty years, substantial evidence has accumulated suggesting that supersonic turbulence dominates the motion of gas within molecular star-forming clouds, and is the main factor determining their internal density and velocity structure. The present work has aimed to test the extent to which simulations employing isothermal equation of state correctly model the behaviour of molecular turbulence, and investigate the impact of turbulence on molecular dynamics. To achieve this, a numerical scheme is constructed, which couples the most important chemical processes with a general purpose hydrodynamical code (ZEUS-3D). It is found that the isothermal simulations reproduce correctly the dynamics of the molecular turbulence, and can be used to predict properties of the molecular emission. It is discovered that, given the supersonic dynamics, the chemical processes can be significantly accelerated, implying that molecular clouds may be undergoing both rapid dynamical and chemical...Похожие книги
