The fastest growing modes were therefore at the nyquist frequency. This is however much larger than the cooling length of the shocked layer. I suspect that at higher resolutions the size of the condensations from the TI will much smaller and more prone to evaporation (or clump destruction) in the turbulent background flow... … … 134 134 135 135 we 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... 136 137 138 ------- 139 == Miscellaneous == 140 Here is an image showing the frame production rate for a 2D 1024^2^ fixed grid vs a 64^2^+4 colliding flow run. 141 142 [[Image(times.png)]]
