A Lower Bound on Adiabatic Heating of Compressed Turbulence for Simulation and Model Validation
Abstract The energy in turbulent flow can be amplified by compression, when the compression occurs on a timescale shorter than the turbulent dissipation time. This mechanism may play a part in sustaining turbulence in various astrophysical systems, including molecular clouds. The amount of turbulent amplification depends on the net effect …
