Star formation bursts in isolated spiral galaxies
C. Clarke, D. Gittins
We study the response of the gaseous component of a galactic disc to the time dependent potential generated by N-body simulations of a spiral galaxy. The results show significant v…

Constraining corotation from shocks in tightly-wound spiral galaxies
D. Gittins, C. Clarke
We present a new method for estimating the corotation radius in tightly wound spiral galaxies, through analysis of the radial variation of the offset between arms traced by the pot…

Hydrodynamical simulations of a cloud of interacting gas fragments
David Gittins, Cathie Clarke, Matthew Bate
We present a full hydrodynamical investigation of a system of self-contained, interacting gas `cloudlets'. Calculations are performed using SPH, and cloudlets are allowed to collid…
