Shock interactions, turbulence, and the origin of the stellar mass spectrum
Ralph E. Pudritz, N. K. -R. Kevlahan
Supersonic turbulence is an essential element in understanding how structure within interstellar gas is created and shaped. In the context of star formation, many computational stu…

Shock generated vorticity in the interstellar medium and the origin of the stellar initial mass function
N. Kevlahan, Ralph E. Pudritz
The main observational evidence for turbulence in the interstellar medium (ISM) and molecular clouds is the power-law energy spectrum for velocity fluctuations, E(k) \propto k^α. T…
