Efficiently Cooled Stellar Wind Bubbles in Turbulent Clouds. II. Validation of Theory with Hydrodynamic Simulations

In a companion paper, we develop a theory for the evolution of stellar wind-driven bubbles in dense, turbulent clouds. This theory proposes that turbulent mixing at a fractal bubble/shell interface leads to highly efficient cooling, in which the vast majority of the input wind energy is radiated awa...
