a theory in which supersonic turbulence sets the star formation rate per free-fall time in molecular clouds, explaining low star formation efficiency.

In astrophysics, turbulence-regulated star formation refers to a theory in which supersonic turbulence sets the star formation rate per free-fall time in molecular clouds, explaining low star formation efficiency. This meaning comes from Krumholz (2005) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
