Turbulent density and pressure fluctuations in the stratified intracluster medium
Rajsekhar Mohapatra, Christoph Federrath, Prateek Sharma
Turbulent gas motions are observed in the intracluster medium (ICM). The ICM is density-stratified, with the gas density being highest at the centre of the cluster and decreasing r…

Turbulence in stratified atmospheres: implications for the intracluster medium
Rajsekhar Mohapatra, Christoph Federrath, Prateek Sharma
The gas motions in the intracluster medium (ICM) are governed by stratified turbulence. Stratified turbulence is fundamentally different from Kolmogorov (isotropic, homogeneous) tu…

Turbulence in the intracluster medium: simulations, observables & thermodynamics
Rajsekhar Mohapatra, Prateek Sharma
We conduct two kinds of homogeneous isotropic turbulence simulations relevant for the intracluster medium (ICM): (i) pure turbulence runs without radiative cooling; (ii) turbulent…
