Scientific paper

We show the results of our 3D MHD simulations of the flow of the Galactic ISM into a spiral perturbation in the potential. The gas shoots up before the arm, flows over, and falls behind as it approaches the next arm. This hydraulic jump behavior is a consequence of the extra stiffness that the magnetic field adds to the gas flow. We also show synthetic l - v and v - b diagrams for an imaginary observer inside our modeled galactic disk.
