We present an improved baryonification (BFC) model that modifies dark-matter-only $N$-body simulations to generate particle-level outputs for gas, dark matter, and stars. Unlike previous implementations, our approach first splits each…
We show that discreteness effects related to classical two-body relaxation produce spurious heating of the gaseous component in numerical simulations of galaxy formation. A simple analytic model demonstrates that this artificial heating…
We present a hydrodynamical code for cosmological simulations which uses the Piecewise Parabolic Method (PPM) to follow the dynamics of gas component and an N-body Particle-Mesh algorithm for the evolution of collisionless component. The…
At early times dark matter has a thermal velocity dispersion of unknown amplitude which, for warm dark matter models, can influence the formation of nonlinear structure on observable scales. We propose a new scheme to simulate cosmologies…
We report on a new method for incorporating interactions between dark matter (DM) and baryons in cosmological simulations, capable of handling the challenging regime in which the dark matter particle mass is comparable to or lighter than…
Particle-Mesh (PM) codes are still very useful tools for testing predictions of cosmological models in cases when extra high resolution is not very important. We release for public use a cosmological PM N-body code. We provide a complete…
The implementation of a new particle module describing the physics of dust grains coupled to the gas via drag forces is the subject of this work. The proposed particle-gas hybrid scheme has been designed to work in Cartesian as well as in…
We investigate the properties of hybrid gravitational/hydrodynamical simulations, examining both the numerics and the general physical properties of gravitationally driven, hierarchical collapse in a mixed baryonic/dark matter fluid. We…
We analyze hierarchical structure formation based on scale-free initial conditions in an Einstein-de Sitter universe, including a baryonic component. We present three independent, smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations, performed…
The impact of 2-body scattering on the innermost density profiles of dark matter haloes is well established. We use a suite of cosmological simulations and idealised numerical experiments to show that 2-body scattering is exacerbated in…
We model the cosmological substratum by a viscous fluid that is supposed to provide a unified description of the dark sector and pressureless baryonic matter. In the homogeneous and isotropic background the \textit{total} energy density of…
Dark matter (DM) particles can interact with particles of the standard model. Although there are a number of constraints derived from direct and indirect detection experiments, the evolution of astrophysical objects could offer a promising…
We critically examine how the evolution of the matter density field in cosmological simulations is affected by details of setting up initial conditions. We show that it is non-trivial to realise an initial distribution of matter in…
We describe a new hybrid N-body/hydrodynamical code based on the particle-mesh (PM) method and the piecewise-parabolic method (PPM) for use in solving problems related to the evolution of large-scale structure, galaxy clusters, and…
We present a method for integrating the cosmological hydrodynamical equations including a collisionless dark matter component. For modelling the baryonic matter component, we use the Piecewise Parabolic Method (PPM) which is a high-accuracy…
We discuss the possibility of realising a two-component dark matter (DM) scenario where the two DM candidates differ from each other by virtue of their production mechanism in the early universe. One of the DM candidates is thermally…
Fast N-body PM simulations with a small number of time steps such as FastPM or COLA have been remarkably successful in modeling the galaxy statistics, but their lack of small scale force resolution and long time steps cannot give accurate…
N-body simulations sample their initial conditions on an initial particle distribution, which for cosmological simulations is usually a glass or grid, whilst a Poisson distribution is used for galaxy models, spherical collapse etc. These…
We present and test a framework that models the three-dimensional distribution of mass in the Universe as a function of cosmological and astrophysical parameters. Our approach combines two different techniques: a rescaling algorithm that…
We present results from a series of cosmological SPH (smoothed particle hydrodynamics) simulations coupled with the P3M (Particle-Particle-Particle-Mesh) solver for the gravitational force. The simulations are designed to predict the…
