Galactic Spiral Shocks with Thermal Instability
Using one-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations including interstellar heating, cooling, and thermal conduction, we investigate nonlinear evolution of gas flow across galactic spiral arms. We model the gas as a non-self-gravitating, unmagnetized fluid, and follow its interaction with a stellar spiral potential in a local frame comoving with the stellar pattern. Initially uniform gas with density...
متن کاملThermal Conduction in Magnetized Turbulent Gas
Using numerical methods, we systematically study in the framework of ideal MHD the effect of magnetic fields on heat transfer within a turbulent gas. We measure the rates of passive scalar diffusion within magnetized fluids and make the comparisons a) between MHD and hydro simulations, b) between different MHD runs with different values of the external magnetic field (up to the energy equiparti...
متن کاملThe Maximum Effect of Thermal Instability on Galactic Outflows
We have investigated steady, radial gas outflows (or winds) from galaxies and the development of thermal instability in the hot gas. In order to see the maximum influence of the instability on the global structure of the galactic outflows, we study inhomogeneous comoving flows and the non-linear fate of the fluctuations in the flows. We compare the results with solutions for homogeneous flows. ...
متن کاملThermal instability in X-ray photoionized media in Active Galactic Nuclei: Influence on the gas structure and spectral features
Context. A photoionized gas in thermal equilibrium can display a thermal instability, with three or more solutions in the multibranch region of the S-shape curve giving the temperature versus the radiation-to-gas-pressure ratio. Many studies have been devoted to this curve and to its dependence on different parameters, always in the optically thin case. Aims. The purpose of our study is the the...
متن کاملPreventing Instability Phenomenon in Gas-lift Optimization
One of the problems that sometimes occur in gas allocation optimization is instability phenomenon. This phenomenon reduces the oil production and damages downhole and surface facilities. Different works have studied the stability and suggested some solutions to override it, but most of them (such as making the well intelligent) are very expensive and thus they are not applicable to many cases. ...
