Formation of filaments and dense cores during molecular clouds collision

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents the results of mathematical modeling of the collision process of two molecular clouds(MC). The density distribution over the radius of the MC is modeled by various laws, the density in the center varies. The forces of gravity, thermal conductivity and radiative losses are not taken into account. The processes of deformation, fragmentation and the formation of superdense regions that occurs during the collision of molecular clouds are analyzed. Visualization of the calculation results made it possible to find the features of the emerging flow the formation of vortices, filaments, and superdense nuclei in molecular clouds.
