Abstract
We present measurements of the star formation efficiency (SFE) in three-dimensional numerical simulations of driven turbulence in supercritical, ideal-MHD, and nonmagnetic regimes characterized by a mean normalized mass-to-flux ratio μ, all with 64 Jeans masses and similar rms Mach numbers (~10). In most cases, the moderately supercritical runs with μ=2.8 have significantly lower SFEs than the nonmagnetic cases, being comparable to observational estimates for entire molecular clouds (
