Dusty Cloud Acceleration with Multiband Radiation

Xiaoshan Huang, Shane W. Davis, Dong Zhang

We perform two-dimensional and three-dimensional simulations of cold, dense clouds, which are accelerated by radiation pressure on dust relative to a hot, diffuse background gas. W…

A Review of the Theory of Galactic Winds Driven by Stellar Feedback

Dong Zhang

Galactic winds from star-forming galaxies are crucial to the process of galaxy formation and evolution, regulating star formation, shaping the stellar mass function and the mass-me…

Dusty Cloud Acceleration by Radiation Pressure in Rapidly Star-Forming Galaxies

Dong Zhang, Shane W. Davis, Yan-Fei Jiang +1

We perform two-dimensional and three-dimensional radiation hydrodynamic simulations to study cold clouds accelerated by radiation pressure on dust in the environment of rapidly sta…

Radiation Hydrodynamic Simulations of Dust-Driven Winds

Dong Zhang, Shane W. Davis

We study dusty winds driven by radiation pressure in the atmosphere of a rapidly star-forming environment. We apply the variable Eddington tensor algorithm to re-examine the two-di…

An Origin for Multi-Phase Gas in Galactic Winds and Halos

Todd A. Thompson, Eliot Quataert, Dong Zhang +1

The physical origin of high velocity cool gas seen in galactic winds remains unknown. Following Wang (1995), we argue that radiative cooling in initially hot thermally-driven outfl…

Entrainment in Trouble: Cool Cloud Acceleration and Destruction in Hot Supernova-Driven Galactic Winds

Dong Zhang, Todd A. Thompson, Eliot Quataert +1

Efficient thermalization of overlapping supernovae within star-forming galaxies may produce a supernova-heated fluid that drives galactic winds. For fiducial assumptions about the…
