__FORCETOC__ <!-- __NOTOC__ will force TOC off --> =Similarity Solution= {| class="IsothermalCollapse" style="float:left; margin-right: 20px; border-style: solid; border-width: 3px border-color: black" |- ! style="height: 150px; width: 150px; background-color:#ffff99;;" |[[H_BookTiledMenu#Nonlinear_Dynamical_Evolution|<b>Similarity<br />Solution</b>]] |} Much of the material in this chapter has been drawn from §4.1 of a [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1982FCPh....8....1T review article by Tohline (1982)] titled, ''Hydrodynamic Collapse''. Several authors ([[#See_Especially|references given, below]]) have shown that when isothermal pressure gradients are important during a gas cloud's collapse, the equations governing the collapse admit a set of similarity solutions. Certain properties of these solutions can be described analytically and are instructive models for comparison with more detailed, numerical collapse calculations. <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Establishing Set of Governing Equations== Drawing from an [[SSC/Dynamics/IsothermalCollapse#IsothermalEulerianFrame|accompanying chapter's introductory discussion]], we begin with the set of governing equations that describe the collapse of isothermal spheres from an Eulerian frame of reference. <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellpadding="8" align="center"> <tr> <th align="center">Eulerian Frame</th> </tr> <tr><td align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{\partial M_r}{\partial r} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~4\pi r^2 \rho \, , </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{\partial M_r}{\partial t} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~- 4\pi r^2 \rho v_r \, ,</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{\partial v_r}{\partial t} + v_r \frac{\partial v_r}{\partial r}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~- c_s^2 \biggl( \frac{\partial \ln \rho}{\partial r}\biggr) - \frac{GM_r}{r^2} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </td></tr></table> </div> Notice that, following [[SSC/Dynamics/IsothermalCollapse#Larson_.281969.29|Larson's (1969) lead]], we have replaced the standard continuity equation with the following equivalent statement of mass conservation: <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{dM_r}{dt}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~0 </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\Rightarrow ~~~ 0</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{\partial M_r}{\partial t} + v_r ~\frac{\partial M_r}{\partial r} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{\partial M_r}{\partial t} +4\pi r^2 \rho v_r \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> ==Mathematical Solution== ===Summary=== A similarity solution becomes possible for these equations when the single independent variable, <div align="center"> <math>~\zeta = \frac{c_s t}{r} \, ,</math> </div> is used to replace both <math>~r</math> and <math>~t</math>.
