(a) Time evolution of the CND mass (r < 50 pc) in the fiducial calculation that includes heating, cooling, and star formation. (b) CND mass evolution in the isothermal-3D and pseudo-2D models. Self-gravity of the gas is solved in both models. The blue and red curves correspond to the isothermal-3D and pseudo-2D runs, respectively.
