Summary

Superwind Theory
– Adiabatic Solution (Chevalier & Clegg 85)
– Radiative Solution (Silich + 2004)

Hydrodynamic Simulations
– Catastrophic Cooling (Gray, Oey, Silich, 2019)
– Radiative Cooling increases with (Danehkar, Oey, Gray, 2021):
• higher mass-loading, lower outflow velocity, higher metallicity

Photoionization Modeling (Photoionization + Hydro Collisional Ionization)
– Emission lines predicted for adiabatic and cooling outflows
– BPT & UV Diagnotic Diagrams

Future Directions
– Non-equilibrium Photoionization (Photoionization + NEI; next work)
– 2-D simulations: Instability-induced gas clumping
