Description

Filaments are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium, yet their formation, internal structure, magnetic properties, and longevity have not been analysed in detail. In this thesis I report the results from a comprehensive numerical study that investigates the characteristics, formation, dynamics, and global evolution of ?lamentary structures arising from (magneto)hydrodynamic interactions between supersonic winds and interstellar clouds. Here I improve on previous wind-cloud simulations by utilising higher numerical resolutions, sharper density contrasts, more complex magnetic ?eld con?gurations, and more realistic systems with turbulent clouds.
