The turbulent destruction of clouds - I. A k-epsilon treatment of turbulence in 2D models of adiabatic shock-cloud interactions

J. M. Pittard, S. A. E. G. Falle, T. W. Hartquist +1

The interaction of a shock with a cloud has been extensively studied in the literature, where the effects of magnetic fields, radiative cooling and thermal conduction have been con…

The tails in the Helix Nebula NGC 7293

J. E. Dyson, J. M. Pittard, J. Meaburn +1

We have examined a stream-source model for the production of the cometary tails observed in the Helix Nebula NGC 7293 in which a transonic or moderately supersonic stream of ionize…

Dynamical and Pressure Structures in Winds with Multiple Embedded Evaporating Clumps I. 2D Numerical Simulations

J. M. Pittard, J. E. Dyson, S. A. E. G. Falle +1

Because of its key role in feedback in star formation and galaxy formation, we examine the nature of the interaction of a flow with discrete sources of mass injection. We show the…

The Shocking Properties of Supersonic Flows: Dependence of the Thermal Overstability on M, alpha, and T_c/T_0

J. M. Pittard, M. S. Dobson, R. H. Durisen +3

We investigate the Mach number dependence of the radiative overstability of shocks. We find that the stability of radiative shocks increases with decreasing Mach number, with the r…

The Formation of Broad Emission Line Regions in Supernova-QSO Wind Interactions II. 2D Calculations

J. M. Pittard, J. E. Dyson, S. A. E. G. Falle +1

One aspect of supernova remnant evolution that is relatively unstudied is the influence of an AGN environment. A high density ambient medium and a nearby powerful continuum source…

The Evolution of Mass Loaded Supernova Remnants. II. Temperature Dependent Mass Injection Rates

J. M. Pittard, S. J. Arthur, J. E. Dyson +4

We investigate the evolution of spherically symmetric supernova remnants in which mass loading takes place due to conductively driven evaporation of embedded clouds. Numerical simu…
