particle initial conditions 5 Cosmological simulations: particle initial conditions • If we deal with cold dark matter, initial particle velocities are due solely to gravity and, in the Zeldovich approximation, depend only on particle positions. In this case only 3D space needs to be discretized. • For other type of dark matter (hot, warm, etc.), their initial velocity distribution must also be sampled. • The problem of initial discretization is the problem of cosmological initial conditions, covered last week. For additional information see: Anatoly Klypin’s PM <strong>code</strong> Ed Bertschinger’s GRAFIC2 package: a public cosmological IC <strong>code</strong> Grocce et al. 2006, (astro-ph/0606505) • the number of particles and the size of simulation volume are dictated by the available computational resources and the needs of particular problem.
particle initial conditions 6 Cosmological simulations: particle initial conditions “It seems probably to me that God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, movable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such other properties, and in such proportion to space, as most conduced to the end for which he formed them.” - Isaac Newton, “Opticks”
