We present numerical simulations of an isothermal turbulent gas undergoing gravitational collapse, aimed at testing for ``logatropic'' behavior of the form $P_t \sim \log \rho$, where $P_t$ is the ``turbulent pressure'' and $\rho$ is the…

Using numerical techniques we studied the global stability of cooling flows in giant elliptical galaxies. As an initial equilibrium state we choose the hydrostatic gas recycling model (Kritsuk 1996). Non-equilibrium radiative cooling,…

Self-similar solutions provide good descriptions for the gravitational collapse of spherical clouds or stars when the gas obeys a polytropic equation of state, $p=K\rho^\gamma$ (with $\gamma\le 4/3$). We study the behaviors of nonradial…

A new type of self-similarity is found in the problem of a plane-parallel, ultra-relativistic blast wave, propagating in a powerlaw density profile of the form $\rho \propto z^{-k}$. Self-similar solutions of the first kind can be found for…

Context: Atomic and molecular cloud formation is a dynamical process. However, kinematic signatures of these processes are still observationally poorly constrained. Methods: Targeting the cloud-scale environment of the prototypical infrared…

We use hydrodynamic simulations with adaptive grid refinement to study the dependence of hot gas flows in X-ray luminous giant elliptical galaxies on the efficiency of heat supply to the gas. We consider a number of potential heating…

Condensation of H 2 in the interstellar medium (ISM) has long been seen as a possibility, either by deposition on dust grains or thanks to a phase transition combined with self-gravity. H 2 condensation might explain the observed low…
