Vorticity and magnetic dynamo from subsonic expansion waves

[Context] The main driving forces supplying energy to the interstellar medium (ISM) are supernova explosions and stellar winds. Such localized sources are assimilable to curl-free velocity fields as a first approximation. They need to be combined with other physical processes to replicate real galac...

Descripción
Sumario:[Context] The main driving forces supplying energy to the interstellar medium (ISM) are supernova explosions and stellar winds. Such localized sources are assimilable to curl-free velocity fields as a first approximation. They need to be combined with other physical processes to replicate real galactic environments, such as the presence of turbulence and a dynamo-sustained magnetic field in the ISM.
