Morphology of Shocked Lateral Outflows in Colliding Hydrodynamic Flows
R. N. Markwick, A. Frank, J. Carroll-Nellenback +6
Supersonic interacting flows occurring in phenomena such as protostellar jets give rise to strong shocks, and have been demonstrated in several laboratory experiments. To study suc…
Cooling and Instabilities in Colliding Flows
R. N. Markwick, A. Frank, J. Carroll-Nellenback +4
Collisional self-interactions occurring in protostellar jets give rise to strong shocks, the structure of which can be affected by radiative cooling within the flow. To study such…
Simulating Radiative Magnetohydrodynamical Flows with AstroBEAR: Implementation and Applications of Non-equilibrium Cooling
E. C. Hansen, P. Hartigan, A. Frank. A. Wright +1
Radiative cooling plays a crucial role in the dynamics of many astrophysical flows, and is particularly important in the dense shocked gas within Herbig-Haro (HH) objects and stell…
The Shock Dynamics of Heterogeneous YSO Jets: 3-D Simulations Meet Multi-Epoch Observations
E. C. Hansen, A. Frank, P. Hartigan +1
High resolution observations of Young Stellar Object (YSO) jets show them to be composed of many small-scale knots or clumps. In this paper we report results of 3-D numerical simul…
Numerical Simulations of Mach Stem Formation via Intersecting Bow Shocks
Edward C. Hansen, Adam Frank, Patrick Hartigan
Hubble Space Telescope observations show bright knots of H emission within outflowing young stellar jets. Velocity variations in the flow create secondary bow shocks that may in…
MHD Effects on Pulsed YSO Jets. I. 2.5-D Simulations
Edward C. Hansen, Adam Frank, Patrick Hartigan
In this paper we explore the dynamics of radiative axisymmetric MHD jets at high resolution using AMR methods. The goal of the study is to determine both the dynamics and emission…
