Notes. tmix is the time for the mass of the cloud core to be reduced by half. The value tcc is the cloud crushing time proportional to the shock Mach number and is relevant to intercompare different Mach number cases; ttot quantifies when only 5% of mass is left in the cloud core; and tend is the time at which the simulation was stopped. Missing values indicate that the simulation did not yet not reach the required time. Times are in kyr. The timescale for Kelvin-Helmholtz dynamics is indicated as tKH.
