In the presently analyzed numerical experiment results of interacting gas cloud dynamics in a protogalactic potential, inelastic cloud-cloud collision-induced energy dissipation leads to a strong flattening and a large rotational vs kinetic energy ratio for clouds with several inelastic conditions. The adimensional spin parameter reaches high values for this highly dissipative component; after the collapse, the resulting systems exist in a stationary state in which collisions gradually increase the number of star clusters composed of gas clouds with a threshold condition in the number of inelastic collisions. Energy dissipation/relaxation process-involving gasdynamic effects play a fundamental role in the galaxy-formation model presented.
