| Abstract: |
The recent progress in our understanding of the dynamics of
multi-phase interstellar medium (ISM) is dramatical.
ALMA may provide an opportunity to open a new era for
the investigation of cold, warm, and non-thermal components of
interstellar medium.
Non-linear perturbations (e.g., shock waves or time-dependent
radiation field) lead to the interchange between warm phase
and cold phase via thermal instability.
Dynamical modelling of the phase transition dynamics is
essential in describing ubiquitous turbulence in ISM
and the formation of molecular clouds.
A concept of magnetically multi-phase medium is also introduced.
Recent finding of the magnetic field amplification in
the blast wave propagating in magnetized multi-phase ISM
is providing an interesting scenario for rapid acceleration of
cosmic rays. |
