The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is responsive to kinetic disruptions generated by nearby astrophysical events. In this work, we study the saturation and dissipation of turbulent hydrodynamics within the CGM through an extensive array of 252…
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…

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 show that floating ice blocks with asymmetric shapes can self-propel with significant speeds due to buoyancy driven currents caused by melting. In water baths with temperatures between $10\,^\circ$C and $30\,^\circ$C, model right-angle…

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…
Acoustic cavitation is known to trigger ice nucleation in supercooled water. Several competing and still debatable mechanisms have been proposed in the literature and are related to the pressure field in the vicinity of the bubble at the…
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…
Similarity solutions are obtained for one dimensional, unsteady, adiabatic propagation of an exponential shock wave in a perfect gas with heat conduction and radiation heat flux, in the presence of azimuthal magnetic field. The shock wave…
We show that a fast wind that expands into a bipolar nebula composed of two opposite jet-inflated bubbles can form a pair of bipolar rings around giant stars. Our model assumes three mass loss episodes: a spherical slow and dense shell, two…
Most stars host short-period planets that are expected to be engulfed during post-main-sequence expansion. The dissolution of engulfed planets has been proposed as a possible mechanism for producing stars enriched in lithium and refractory…
We investigate the properties of highly compressible turbulence, the compressibility arising from a small effective polytropic exponent $\gamma_e$ due to cooling. In the limit of small $\gamma_e$, the density jump at shocks is shown to be…
We present three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of buoyant gas in a typical cluster environment. The hot matter was injected continuously into a small region off-set from the cluster centre. In agreement with previous analytic…
A microscopic bubble of soluble gas always dissolves in finite time in an under-saturated fluid. This diffusive process is driven by the difference between the gas concentration near the bubble, whose value is governed by the internal…
We present the results of numerical simulations of continuum-driven winds of stars that exceed the Eddington limit and compare these against predictions from earlier analytical solutions. Our models are based on the assumption that the…
We solve the continuation problem for the non-isentropic Euler equations following the collapse of an imploding shock wave. More precisely, we prove that the self-similar G\"uderley imploding shock solutions for a perfect gas with adiabatic…
