Abstract

Protostellar outflows are ubiquitous in regions of star formation and inject sufficient momentum into their parent cloud to sustain supersonic turbulence. Here we present the results of 3-D MHD numerical simulations that demonstrate the capacity of multiple interacting outflows to both create and sustain supersonic turbulence. We discuss the differences between outflow driven turbulence and externally driven turbulence and the observational signatures of each. We also discuss the growth of magnetic fields from interactions with both magnetized and unmagnetized outflows.
