We describe the astrophysical and numerical basis of N-body simulations, both of collisional stellar systems (dense star clusters and galactic centres) and collisionless stellar dynamics (galaxies and large-scale structure). We explain and…
Halo samples that have no kinematic bias have been successfully isolated by photometric observations. We show that the near-UV (NUV) magnitude of the GALEX All-Sky Survey can be used, together with Johnson BV magnitudes in a (NUV-V)_0 vs.…
The development of numerical N -body simulations have allowed to study formation process and evolution of galaxies at different scales. This paper presents the fundamental concepts of N-body systems applied to the cosmological evolution of…
Palabos-npFEM is a computational framework for the simulation of blood flow with fully resolved constituents. The software resolves the trajectories and deformed state of blood cells, such as red blood cells and platelets, and the complex…
N-body simulations are widely used to simulate the dynamical evolution of a variety of systems, among them star clusters. Much of our understanding of their evolution rests on the results of such direct N-body simulations. They provide…
Finding informative low-dimensional descriptions of high-dimensional simulation data (like the ones arising in molecular dynamics or kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of physical and chemical processes) is crucial to understanding physical…
The gravitational N-body simulation in the Solar system was performed using different parallel approaches with the comparisons in the computational times and speed-up values being carried out under different model sizes and the number of…
