摘要:N-body/hydrodynamic numerical simulations of galaxy clusters including the interaction of the
intra-cluster medium (ICM) with the galaxies are one of the outstanding challenges in computational
astrophysics. We include metal enrichment processes like galactic winds and ram-pressure
stripping. Galactic winds are calculated with an additional code which takes into account cosmic
rays as well as magnetic elds for supernovae driven winds. To treat higher star formation rates
due to galaxy galaxy interactions smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations are performed.
This combination of different techniques allows us to determine the enrichment efciency of different
processes. Additionally, methods for the investigation of huge 3 dimensional data sets with
state of the art visualisation techniques are shown.
