Abstract: |
Shock bound interaction zones (SBIZs) are ubiquitous in astrophysics.
We present numerical results for 2D and 3D, plane-parallel, infinitely
extended SBIZs. Isothermal settings and parameterized
cooling are considered. We highlight and compare characteristic
of such zones. We emphasize the mutual coupling between the turbulence
within the SBIZ and the confining shocks, point out potential
differences to 3D periodic box studies of supersonic turbulence, and
contemplate on possible effects on the X-ray emission of such zones. |
