Understanding the large-scale dynamics of the interstellar medium in barred galaxies

We study the large-scale dynamics of the interstellar medium in barred galaxies. The interest in doing this is two-fold. On the one hand, the hydrodynamic flow is the source of many interesting physical phenomena, such as shocks and spiral arms. On the other hand, it is a powerful tool to constrain...
