Measured SFR surface density Σ SFR as a function of (a) Σ/ t ff, 0 and (b) Σ/ t ver for all numerical models, where t ff, 0 = (3π/(32 Gρ 0)) 1/2 and t ver = H diff/ v z, diff are computed using time-averaged values of the variables. The points and error bars give the mean and standard deviations over t/ t orb = 2–3. The dotted lines in (a) and (b) show our best fits for imposed unity slopes, Σ SFR = 0.008(Σ/ t ff, 0) and Σ SFR = 0.0025(Σ/ t ver), respectively.
