Description
I will talk about numerical simulations of triggered star formation in
expanding shells, comparing the results of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
and Adaptive Mesh Refinement calculations with the so-called thin-shell
model. I will also show simulations of the triggering of star formation by
the external irradiation of a turbulent molecular cloud by an O-star.
In the second part of my talk, I will present simulations of the effects
of momentum- and pressure-driven stellar winds on embedded clusters,
focusing on the ability of winds to halt star formation and to disrupt
young star clusters.
