Laboratory experiments to study supersonic astrophysical flows interacting with clumpy environments
A wide variety of objects in the universe drive supersonic outflows through the interstellar medium which is often highly clumpy. These inhomogeneities affect the morphology of the shocks that are generated. T...

Photoionized Flows from Magnetized Globules
Low mass star formation may be triggered by the dynamical effects of radiation fields and winds from massive stars on nearby molecular material. The columns of neutral material observed at the edges of many HI...

Numerical Simulations and Astrophysical Applications of Laboratory Jets at Omega
We have conducted experiments on the Omega laser at the University of Rochester that have produced jets of supersonic Ti impacting and being deflected by a ball of high density plastic. These mm-sized jets of ...
