We present further results of our model of the interstellar medium in spiral galaxies (Roberts and Hausman, 1983; Hausman and Roberts, 1983). The ISM is simulated by a system of particles, representing gas clouds, which orbit ballistically in a spiral-perturbed galactic gravitational field, collide inelastically with one another, and receive velocity impulses from expanding supernova remnants. Star formation may be triggered in the clouds by either collisions or SNR interactions.
