Density structure and intermittency in decaying supersonic interstellar turbulence: Kolmogorov versus Burgers scales
Abstract We investigate how the initial spectral organization of decaying supersonic turbulence influences the structure and intermittency of the interstellar medium. Three-dimensional isothermal Euler simulations are performed at identical initial turbulent Mach number for Kolmogorov-type, E(k) ∼ k −5/3, and Burgers-t...
