Thermal instability produces steady-state temperature fluctuations in the ICM outside cluster cores when conduction is anomalously suppressed by heat-flux-driven instabilities, extending the unstable regime to over half the cluster volume.

3D wind-tunnel simulations in the χ~10^3 regime show clump-cocoon geometry sets SB_X/SB_Hα~3, with Hα fraction fixed by atomic physics and X-ray fraction set by residence time in the X-ray band that scales inversely with pressure.
Geometry of temperature isosurfaces controls the PDF shape in turbulent multi-phase gas, with clumps transitioning to sheets producing broader distributions.
Low-angular-momentum test-particle models of HVCs originating at tens of kpc in a rotating halo reproduce observed kinematics and imply an accretion rate of several solar masses per year sufficient for long-term star formation.
