| Abstract: |
We discuss the recent efforts which have been made to
understand the formation of molecular clouds through the
accumulation of diffuse material, a scenario sometimes
called “colliding flows”. We present a set
of statistics which have been inferred from these
simulations and which seem to
agree reasonably with observations seemingly suggesting
that this scenario could indeed be applied to understand
molecular cloud formation. We also emphasize the limits of this
highly idealized model. |
