v10 v11 107 107 108 108 Here we've plotted the cooling time as a function of density and ram pressure (in units of Kelvin/cc) 109 [[Image(nPCoolingTime.png )]]109 [[Image(nPCoolingTime.png, width-400)]] 110 110 111 111 We can then calculate the cooling length of the shock [[latex($L_{cool}=T_{cool} v_{shock}$)]] or the cooling length of the thermal instability [[latex($\lambda_{TI}=T_{cool} c_s \approx L_{cool}$)]] since [[latex($c_s \approx v_{shock}$)]] 112 112 Here are plots of the cooling length as well as the thermal instability length scale. 113 [[Image(nPCoolingLength.png, width= 50%)]][[Image(nPTILength.png, width=50%)]]113 [[Image(nPCoolingLength.png, width=400)]][[Image(nPTILength.png, width=400)]] 114 114 115 115 We can also calculate the free fall time for the condensations 116 116 [[latex($t_{ff}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \pi}{32 G \rho}}$)]] as well as the Jeans length [[latex($\lambda_J= c_s\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{G\rho}}$)]] plotted below 117 [[Image(nPFreeFallTime.png, width= 50%)]][[Image(nPJeansLength.png, width=50%)]]117 [[Image(nPFreeFallTime.png, width=400)]][[Image(nPJeansLength.png, width=400)]] 118 118 119 119
