Thermal Instability

Intro

Thought I would play around with clumps that were marginally unstable and let them evolve without self-gravity

Setup

Box size is 4 pc and clump radius is 1 pc. Ambient and clump density are 2 part/cc and the clump has small density perturbations of order 10% but is initially in pressure equilibrium with ambient.
