Mass pick-up in astronomical flows

Abstract

Many astrophysical sources are clumpy. The flows in the diffuse media in these sources are affected by the mass picked up through the ablation of the embedded clumps. The diffuse media-clump interfaces can be observable sources themselves. Flows in clumpy stellar wind blown bubbles, supernova remnants, quasar winds, cooling gas accreting on to galaxies, and in pre-galactic bubbles blown by energy input from young galaxies, are discussed. Pick-up has important chemical as well as dynamical effects in star forming regions. The natures of the interfaces are considered.
