TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of grid and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) techniques for interacting multiphase fluids is carried out, and it is shown that SPH introduces spurious pressure forces on particles in regions where there are steep density gradients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Properties of Cosmic Shock Waves in Large-Scale Structure Formation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the properties of large-scale structure formation in simulations of large scale structure formation and found that the topology of the shocks is very complex and highly connected, and that the amount of inflowing kinetic energy across the shocks around clusters, which represents the power available for cosmic-ray acceleration, is comparable to the cluster X-ray luminosity emitted from a central region of radius 0.5 h-1 Mpc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cosmic-Ray Electrons in Groups and Clusters of Galaxies: Primary and Secondary Populations from a Numerical Cosmological Simulation
TL;DR: In this article, the generation and distribution of high-energy electrons in the cosmic structure environment and their observational consequences were investigated by carrying out the first cosmological simulation that includes directly cosmic-ray (CR) particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Divergence-free Upwind Code for Multidimensional Magnetohydrodynamic Flows
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a method for preserving ∇ = 0 in a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code that employs the upwind, total variation diminishing (TVD) scheme and Strang type operator splitting for multidimensionality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorescent Ly-alpha emission from the high-redshift intergalactic medium
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution hydro-simulation of the LambdaCDM cosmology with two radiative transfer schemes (for continuum and line radiation) was used to predict the properties, spectra and spatial distribution of fluorescent Ly-alpha emission at z~3.
