Interstellar Turbulence Driving by Galactic Spiral Shocks
Chang-Goo Kim, Woong-Tae Kim, Eve C. Ostriker
Spiral shocks are potentially a major source of turbulence in the interstellar medium. To address this problem quantitatively, we use numerical simulations to investigate gas flow…

Formation of Spiral-Arm Spurs and Bound Clouds in Vertically Stratified Galactic Gas Disks
Woong-Tae Kim, Eve C. Ostriker
(Abridged) We investigate the growth of spiral-arm substructure in vertically stratified, self-gravitating, galactic gas disks, using local numerical MHD simulations. Our new model…
