Query: Thermal Instability-Induced Interstellar Turbulence   We study the dynamics of phase transitions in the interstellar medium by
means of three-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical simulations. We use a
realistic cooling function and generic nonequilibrium initial conditions to
follow the formation history of a multiphase medium in detail in the absence of
gravity. We outline a number of qualitatively distinct stages of this process,
including a linear isobaric evolution, transition to an isochoric regime,
formation of filaments and voids (also known as "thermal" pancakes), the
development and decay of supersonic turbulence, an approach to pressure
equilibrium, and final relaxation of the multiphase medium. We find that 1%-2%
of the initial thermal energy is converted into gas motions in one cooling
time. The velocity field then randomizes into turbulence that decays on a
dynamical timescale E_k ~ t^-n, 1 < n < 2. While not all initial conditions
yield a stable two-phase medium, we examine such a case in detail. We find that
the two phases are well mixed with the cold clouds possessing a fine-grained
structure near our numerical resolution limit. The amount of gas in the
intermediate unstable phase roughly tracks the rms turbulent Mach number,
peaking at 25% when M_rms ~ 8, decreasing to 11% when M_rms ~ 0.4.
