Azimuthal variations in HI velocity dispersion do not correlate with variations in the star formation rate per unit area, SFR/A, suggesting that local star formation does not increase HI turbulence significantly. These variations are determined for each pixel in HI and FUV maps of THINGS and LITTLE THINGS galaxies by subtracting the average radial profiles from the measured quantities. The kinetic energy density and HI surface density increase slightly with SFR/A, suggesting that feedback goes into pushing the local dense gas around without increasing the velocity dispersion. We suggest that star formation feedback does not promote large-scale stability against gravitational forces through turbulence regulation, and that gravitational energy from recurrent instabilities drives turbulence on galactic scales.

The formation of planetesimals and large bodies in circumstellar discs can be referred to the stage of massive unstable disc emerging due to the gravitational collapse in the molecular cloud. We have simulated the dynamics of gas and boulder clumps in such systems. The features of instability development in massive disc is discussed. Unlike medium-massive discs the massive disc can provide conditions for simultaneous formation of several clumps as a result of overdensity ring fragmentation. We found regimes where 3, 2 or 1 overdensity ring appear in the disc and then fragment into clumps collecting about a half of the disc mass.

Possibility of large bodies formation in massive discs of young stellar objects (YSO) class O-I was investigated. On the stage of YSO O-I the whole of factors: chemical composition of gas and solids, chemical catalytic reactions, the disc self-gravitation, the increased ratio of solids to gas surface density, adiabatic gas cooling provides favorable conditions for gravitational instabilities development. We simulated 3D dynamics of gas and dust under self-consistent gravitational field and reproduced the formation and evolution of the disc around the protostar. We found that for stars of Solar mass there are regimes when the disc of variable mass is unstable for the development of fast gravitational instabilities.
