An observational method to measure the relative fractions of solenoidal and compressible modes in interstellar clouds.

BRUNT C.M. and FEDERRATH C.

Abstract (from CDS):

We introduce a new method for observationally estimating the fraction of momentum density (ρv) power contained in solenoidal modes (for which ∇. ρv = 0) in molecular clouds. The method is successfully tested with numerical simulations of supersonic turbulence that produce the full range of possible solenoidal/compressible fractions. At present, the method assumes statistical isotropy, and does not account for anisotropies caused by (e.g.) magnetic fields. We also introduce a framework for statistically describing density-velocity correlations in turbulent clouds.
