Abstract: | Briefly stated, the interstellar matter (hereafter ISM) is a highlyturbulent flow, the turbulence mainly being driven by the violentstirring by supernova explosions, penetrated by dynamicallysignificant magnetic fields both on small and largescales. Sophisticated numerical models of such a turbulent flow cangive important information on some of the complicated processesoccurring in the ISM, e.g. on the regulation of the observedmultiphase structure, properties of interstellar turbulence and thegeneration and maintenance of magnetic fields by the flow itself; inthis paper such models and their most important results are reviewed. |
