The degree of complexity and, to a somewhat lesser degree, realism in simulations has advanced rapidly in the past few years. The simplest approach - modeling a cluster as collisionless dark matter and collisonal, non--radiative gas is now…
We present results from a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) simulation of galaxy formation that exceeds the minimum resolution requirement suggested by Steinmetz & Muller (1993) of 3*10^4 SPH particles per galaxy. Using the multiple mass…
