Hydrodynamic Simulations of Galaxy Formation
Tormen, Giuseppe
Original · EN
This review is a short introduction to numerical hydrodynamics in a cosmological context, intended for the non specialist. The main processes relevant to galaxy formation are first presented. The fluid equations are then introduced, and their implementation in numerical codes by Eulerian grid based methods and by Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics is sketched. As an application, I finally show some results from an SPH simulation of a galaxy cluster.
