Disruption of the flow as a function of the filament overdensity, f, and level of turbulence, η. The contours represent constant ratios of tdisrupt∕tdyn,halo as labeled (cf. Eqs. (5) and (15)). We assume a volume-filling factor of 0.1 (see Fig. 5) for the warm clouds and rstream = rvir/10. In regions with values less than 1, the streams are “disrupted” (Sect. 3.3). The shaded region indicates regions that are forbidden because for these values of the parameters, the post-shock pressure is less than the halo pressure. We note that because , the contours of constant tdisrupt∕tdyn,halo are shaped like contours of constant σturb in the same plane. For example, the contour, tdisrupt∕tdyn,halo = 0.2, is close to the contour for σturb = 200 km s−1, which is almost half the initial velocity of the flow.
