Turbulent dissipation in the interstellar medium: implications for galaxy formation and evolution
We study turbulent dissipation in the ISM and explore some implications forgalaxy formation and evolution using 2D MHD numerical simulations of compress-ible uids. The turbulent kinetic energy Ek is injected by stellar sources formedself-consistently in the simulation. In the ISM-like uid, regimes o...

| Sumario: | We study turbulent dissipation in the ISM and explore some implications forgalaxy formation and evolution using 2D MHD numerical simulations of compress-ible uids. The turbulent kinetic energy Ek is injected by stellar sources formedself-consistently in the simulation. In the ISM-like uid, regimes of both forced anddecaying turbulence coexist. In the active turbulent regions (forced regime), Ek isdissipated locally and eciently. In the decaying regime (far from input sources),Ek(t) decays (1+t) |
