Tohline's dissertation research under the guidance of Peter Bodenheimer (UCSC) and David Black (NASA/Ames) was an early attempt to examine whether of not isothermal gas clouds whose mass exceeds the Jeans mass spontaneously fragment during a phase of free-fall collapse. The adopted Eulerian computational hydrodynamics scheme was first-order donor-cell based on the 2D (axisymmetric, cylindrical-coordinate) scheme described by Black & Bodenheimer (1976) but extended by Tohline to a 3D grid; a typical simulation was carried out on the CDC7600 at NASA/Ames and involved <math>~30^3 \approx 3 \times 10^4</math> grid cells. The self-consistently determined, time-dependent Newtonian gravitational potential was determined by combining (1) an FFT technique in the azimuthal coordinate direction, with (2) a Buneman Cyclic Reduction technique in R and Z. |
