Abstract

We present a numerical study on the behavior of the density power spectrum resulting from compressible hydrodynamic, thermally unstable simulations with different rms Mach numbers Mrms. We find that the spectrum becomes shallower as M increases and that spectral index values that are consistent with those reported from observations.
