Repeat calculation of globule flow, shock, and shell, but for the adiabatic case #21

This is probably not realistic for most globules, but there may be an adiabatic part of the outer flow before the shock. So this will be a first step towards calculating the effects of that.

Adiabatic case will take over when density is low enough that heating timescale exceeds dynamic timescale

At the ionization front, the heating time will generally be short. For instance, in the case of the LDN 1616 globule it works out to be about 10% of the dynamic time:

We need to work out the enthalpy for the adiabatic case. I think that that Shu Volume 2 has something on this

It seems likely that we are comfortably within the isothermal regime for the globules in M1-67.

The above calculation suggests that $r_0 n_0$ is significantly larger in the WR globules, compared with in LDN1616, which means we should be firmly in the recombination-dominated regime

For completeness, here is my solution for the adiabatic globule flow CleanShot 2023-04-18 at 13 46 48@2x
