Description

We calculate the isothermal collapse of a rotating axisymmetric gas cloud. The cloud is slowly rotating (Vertical BarE rotation/E gravitationVertical Bar =0.08) so that the collapse is deep, severely testing the angular momentum advection. Special care is taken to improve local conservation of angular momentum, which is monitored by a mass versus specific angular momentum spectrum
