We study numerically the formation of molecular clouds in large-scale colliding flows including self-gravity. The models emphasize the competition between the effects of gravity on global and local scales in an isolated cloud. Global…

Based on the theoretical description of Position-Position-Velocity(PPV) statistics in Lazarian & Pogosyan(2000), we introduce a new technique called the Velocity Decomposition Algorithm(VDA) in separating the PPV fluctuations arising from…
