Subprojects

Aim of the CRC: The projects of our Collaborative Research Center investigate aspects of turbulent magnetic field amplification, turbulence and instabilities of rotating fluids. In the interaction of turbulence and instabilities with radiation, gravitation, or dust particles there is an enourmous potential to answer fundamental questions about the formation and evolution of galaxies, stars, and planets.
