Theoretical arguments indicate that the ISM is inhomogeneous; Mathews estimated that the ~ 1M⊙ of metal ejected by each supernova event into the ISM is trapped locally within the hot bubbles. Since in elliptical galaxies, there is no overlapping of expanding supernova remnants after galactic wind period, it is expected that this inhomogeneity persists for a long time. The observations also suggests that the ISM of elliptical galaxies is inhomogeneous. Based on these arguments, we studied the evolution of the multiphase (inhomogeneous) ISM.
