Formation of structure in molecular clouds: A case study

Molecular clouds (MCs) are highly structured and turbulent. Colliding gas streams of atomic hydrogen have been suggested as a possible source of MCs, imprinting the filamentary structure as a consequence of dynamical and thermal instabilities. We present a two-dimensional numerical analysis of MC fo...
