Multifluid magnetohydrodynamic turbulent decay
Turlough P. Downes, Stephen O'Sullivan
It is generally believed that turbulence has a significant impact on the dynamics and evolution of molecular clouds and the star formation which occurs within them. Non-ideal magne…
Non-ideal MHD turbulent decay in molecular clouds
T. P. Downes, S. O'Sullivan
It is well known that non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic effects are important in the dynamics of molecular clouds: both ambipolar diffusion and possibly the Hall effect have been ident…
Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in a weakly ionized layer
Mohsen Shadmehri, Turlough P. Downes
We study the linear theory of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in a layer of ions and neutrals with finite thickness. In the short wavelength limit the thickness of the layer has a neg…
A three-dimensional numerical method for modelling weakly ionized plasmas
S. O'Sullivan, T. P. Downes
Astrophysical fluids under the influence of magnetic fields are often subjected to single-fluid or two-fluid approximations. In the case of weakly ionized plasmas however, this can…
Relativistic Blastwaves and Synchrotron Emission
T. P. Downes, P. Duffy, S. Komissarov
Relativistic shocks accelerate particles by the first order Fermi mechanism. These particles then emit synchrotron emission in the post shock gas. We have developed a numerical cod…
On the transfer of momentum from stellar jets to molecular outflows
T. P. Downes, T. P. Ray
While it is generally thought that molecular outflows from young stellar objects (YSOs) are accelerated by underlying stellar winds or highly collimated jets, the actual mechanism…
