Ultracompact Hii regions (UC-HII) are the young, very dense cores of massive star-forming regions in dwarf galaxies, where newly formed massive OB stars are surrounded by natal molecular clouds. Thermal energy deposited by mechanical feedback from a cluster of massive OB stars can form a superwind, which may lead to a wind-blown bubble as well as radiative cooling. We investigate the formation of radiatively cooling superwinds in UC-HII using a radiative cooling module in the hydrodynamics program. We built a grid of hydrodynamic simulations to determine the dependence of radiative cooling on the cluster radius, mass-deposition rate, wind velocity, and ambient medium in UC-HII. Our findings could help to better understand star formation in massive star-forming regions, where cool superwinds could trigger the formation of molecular clumpy regions.
