Star Formation: 3D Collapse of Turbulent Cloud Cores
M. A. Reid, R. E. Pudritz, J. Wadsley
We have performed fully 3D simulations of the collapse of molecular cloud cores which obey the logatropic equation of state. By following the collapse of these cores from states of…

Fragmentation and Collapse of Turbulent Molecular Clouds
David A. Tilley, Ralph E. Pudritz, James Wadsley
We performed simulations of self-gravitating hydrodynamic turbulence to model the formation of filaments, clumps and cores in molecular clouds. We find that when the mass on the in…
