Journal ArticleDOI

The Jeans Condition: A New Constraint on Spatial Resolution in Simulations of Isothermal Self-gravitational Hydrodynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that perturbations arising from discretization of the equations of self-gravitational hydrodynamics can grow into fragments in multiple-grid simulations, a process referred to as artificial fragmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the hydrodynamic interaction of shock waves with interstellar clouds. 1: Nonradiative shocks in small clouds

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive numerical study of the simplest case of the interaction between a shock wave and a spherical cloud, in which the shock far from the cloud is steady and planar, and in which radiative losses, thermal conduction, magnetic fields, and gravitational forces are all neglected.
Journal ArticleDOI

The formation of massive star systems by accretion.

TL;DR: Three-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of the collapse of a massive prestellar core are presented and it is found that radiation pressure does not halt accretion, but the instabilities that allow accretion to continue lead to small multiple systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radiation-Hydrodynamic Simulations of Collapse and Fragmentation in Massive Protostellar Cores

TL;DR: In this article, the Orion adaptive mesh refinement code is used to simulate the early stages of the evolution of turbulent, virialized, high-mass protostellar cores, with primary attention to how cores fragment and whether they form a small or large number of protostars.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of radiative transfer on low-mass star formation

TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) three-dimensional gravito-radiation-hydrodyanics code is used to simulate low-mass star formation in a turbulent molecular cloud.
