Comparison between SPH and AMR simulations of cloud-cloud collisions

Abstract

We compare SPH and AMR simulations of two homogenous clouds which undergo head-on collision, a possible mechanism for the formation of super star clusters. The basic thermodynamics of radiative cooling are taken into account. We explore numerical techniques to obtain convergence between the SPH and AMR results.
