    135135we can see that optimal parameters are somewhere around a density of 20 and a velocity of 16 km/s although we still need clumps to survive for ~ 10 cloud crushing times before collapsing...  Of course if the wind turns off then clumps will be able to survive longer and collapse.  It might be better therefore to use finite wind durations...
