Abstract

We explore the dynamics of a “cluster wind” flow in the regime in which the shocks resulting from the interaction of winds from nearby stars are radiative. We show that for a cluster with low-intermedia mass stars, the wind interactions are indeed likely to be radiative. We then compute three dimensional, radiative simulations of a cluster of 75 young stars, exploring the effects of varying the wind parameters and the density of the initial ISM that permeates the volume of the cluster. These simulations show that the ISM is compressed by the action of the winds into a structure of dense knots and filaments.
