The hydrodynamics of bubble columns in the heterogeneous regime is revisited. Focusing on air-water systems at large aspect ratio, we show from dimensional analysis that buoyancy equilibrates inertia, and that velocities scale as…

We study the effects of outflow/wind on the gravitational stability of accretion discs around supermassive black holes using a set of analytical steady-state solutions. Mass-loss rate by the outflow from the disc is assumed to be a…

Ambipolar diffusion is important in redistributing magnetic flux and in damping Alfven waves in molecular clouds. The importance of ambipolar diffusion on a length scale $\ell$ is governed by the ambipolar diffusion Reynolds number,…

We consider height-integrated equations of an advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF), assuming that there is no mass outflow. We include convection through a mixing length formalism. We seek self-similar solutions in which the rotational…

We present the exact solutions for the collapse of a spherically-symmetric, cold (i.e., pressureless) cloud under its own self-gravity, valid for arbitrary initial density profiles and not restricted to the realm of self-similarity. These…

Fast stellar winds can sweep up ambient media and form bubbles. The evolution of a bubble is largely controlled by the content and physical conditions of the shocked fast wind in its interior. This hot gas was not clearly observed until the…
