Turbulence in the Circumgalactic and Intergalactic Medium — •Jens Niemeyer — Institut für Astrophysik, Universität Göttingen, Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1, 37077 Göttingen

Galactic winds couple the metal enriched gas in galactic star formation regions with the surrounding circumgalactic and intergalactic medium. Turbulence produced during this process controls the amount of chemical and thermal mixing. It also provides a diagnostic tool for upcoming observations. Hydrodynamical simulations with appropriate subgrid-scale models help to understand the complex interactions of galaxies with their environment.
