  3. Link between density structure & star formation ? Zurich, September 18th 2007

  4. Key insights from periodic box simulations in the 90’s: 1. Density structure of isothermal medium structured by supersonic, compressible turbulence is well described by a log-normal distribution whose dispersion reflects the Mach number of the medium (Vazquez-Semadeni 1994, Padoan, Nordlund & Jones 1997, Nordlund & Padoan 1999) 2. Isothermal and adiabatic turbulence decays quickly (within a sound crossing time) whether the medium is magnetized or not (Stone et al. 1998, Maclow et al. 1998, Padoan & Nordlund 1999) Zurich, September 18th 2007

  19. B Supernovae feedback in Joung & Maclow 2006 1.) Identify supernovae site (stick to the observations) 2.) Grow a sphere at that site until it encloses 60 Msun. Radius of this sphere Rexp ~ 7 pc to 50 pc Rexp Mexp = 60 Msun 3.) Redistribute mass in that sphere so that it has uniform density  = 3Mexp/(4  Rexp3) 4.) Inject thermal energy ESN = 1051 ergs evenly into the sphere NO mass ever removed to form a star Zurich, September 18th 2007

  21. Mrms=5.1 Mrms=11.8 Mrms=5.2 Mrms=5.8 no fbk, with s-g Is that because they ignore self-gravity in their model? Gotoh & Kraichnan (1993) found power law PDFs for 1D sims of Burgers flows⇒ infinitely compressible flows (Slyz et al. 2005) Zurich, September 18th 2007

  26. Is this the same old story. . . ? When put supernova thermal energy ESN = 1051 ergs in dense regions most of the energy is quickly radiated away? Get neither thermal or dynamical heating (Katz 1992) Fixes:1)artificial time delay in cooling(Gerritsen 1997; Thacker & Couchman 2001; Governato et al. 2006) 2)assign explosion energy to fluid parcels as pure kinetic energy(Navarro & White 1993) 3)introduce a thermalization efficiency whereby assign some fraction of supernova energy as kinetic and some as thermal(Navarro & White 1993, Hernquist & Mihos 1995) 4)sub-grid models of multi-phase ISM (Yepes et al. 1999, Springel & Hernquist 2003) Zurich, September 18th 2007
