Galactic Spiral Shocks with Thermal Instability
Chang-Goo Kim, Woong-Tae Kim, Eve C. Ostriker
Using one-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations including interstellar heating, cooling, and thermal conduction, we investigate nonlinear evolution of gas flow across galactic spira…

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…
