The formation of star clusters – I. Three-dimensional simulations of hydrodynamic turbulence
Abstract
We present the results of a series of numerical simulations of compressible, self-gravitating hydrodynamic turbulence of cluster-forming clumps in molecular clouds. We examine the role that turbulence has in the formation of gravitationally bound cores, studying the dynamical state, internal structure and bulk properties of these cores. Complex structure in turbulent clumps is formed provided that the damping time of the turbulence, tdamp, is …
