We have mapped over 50 massive, dense clumps with four dense gas tracers: HCN J=1-0 and 3-2; and CS J=2-1 and 7-6 transitions. Spectral lines of optically thin H^{13}CN 3-2 and C^{34}S 5-4 were also obtained towards the map centers. These…

Colliding flows are a commonly used scenario for the formation of molecular clouds in numerical simulations. Due to the thermal instability of the warm neutral medium, turbulence is produced by cooling. We carry out a two-dimensional…

We investigate a gas of wet granular particles, covered by a thin liquid film. The dynamic evolution is governed by two-particle interactions, which are mainly due to interfacial forces in contrast to dry granular gases. When two wet grains…
