The Density Distribution of Compressively Forced, Supersonic Turbulence Depends on the Driving Correlation Time

Supersonic turbulence plays a critical role in shaping astrophysical systems, from molecular clouds to the circumgalactic medium. Key properties of this turbulence include the Mach number, driving scale, and nature of the driving mechanism, which can be solenoidal (divergence-free), compressive (cur...
