Investigations of Theoretical Problems in Cosmical Gas Dynamics

Abstract

This is the final report on investigations of theoretical problems in cosmical gas dynamics. An attempt has been made to derive a kinematical model of the Orion Nebula from observational models of the density distribution and data on the internal kinematics. Numerical methods have been developed for integrating the equations governing the dynamics of H II regions by the method of characteristics.
