The formation of molecular clouds and stars by turbulent compression and collapse

The goal of this work is to improve our understanding of the role of interstellar turbulence in star formation. In particular, the mechanism of turbulence energy injection, the turbulence forcing, is investigated with hydrodynamical simulations. In a systematic comparison, I study the two limiting c...
