A Stochastic Closure for Two-Moment Bulk Microphysics of Warm Clouds: Part I, Derivations
David Collins, Boualem Khouider
We propose a mathematical methodology to derive a stochastic parameterization of bulk warm cloud micro-physics properties. Unlike previous bulk parameterizations, the stochastic pa…
Matching dust emission structures and magnetic field in high-latitude cloud L1642: comparing Herschel and Planck maps
J. Malinen, L. Montier, J. Montillaud +7
The nearby cloud L1642 is one of only two known very high latitude (|b| > 30 deg) clouds actively forming stars. It is a rare example of star formation in isolated conditions, and…
A Generalization of a Bin-Based Modification to the Stochastic Simulation Algorithm
David Collins
In a 1996 paper, Seeelberg, Trautmann and Thorn modified Gillespie's (1975) Monte Carlo algorithm which is used to stochastically simulate the collision and coalescence process.…
Self-generated turbulence in magnetic reconnection
Jeffrey S. Oishi, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, David C. Collins +1
Classical Sweet-Parker models of reconnection predict that reconnection rates depend inversely on the resistivity, usually parameterized using the dimensionless Lundquist number ($…
Observational Diagnostics of Self-Gravitating MHD Turbulence in Giant Molecular Clouds
Blakesley Burkhart, David C. Collins, Alex Lazarian
We study the observable signatures of self-gravitating MHD turbulence by applying the probability density functions (PDFs) and the spatial density power spectrum to synthetic colum…
