Initial Conditions to Cosmological N -body Simulations, or How to Run an Ensemble of Simulations
The conventional method of generating initial conditions for cosmological N -body simulations introduces a significant error in the real-space statistical properties of the particles. More specifically, the finite box size leads to a significant underestimate of σ8, the correlation function, and nonlinear effects. I implement a method of generating initial conditions for N -body simulations tha...
متن کاملInitial Conditions for Large Cosmological Simulations
This technical paper describes a software package that was designed to produce initial conditions for large cosmological simulations in the context of the Horizon collaboration. These tools generalize E. Bertschinger’s Grafic1 software to distributed parallel architectures and offer a flexible alternative to the Grafic2 software for “zoom” initial conditions, at the price of large cumulated cpu...
متن کاملMulti-scale initial conditions for cosmological simulations
We discuss a new algorithm to generate multi-scale initial conditions with multiple levels of refinements for cosmological “zoom-in” simulations. The method uses an adaptive convolution of Gaussian white noise with a real space transfer function kernel together with an adaptive multi-grid Poisson solver to generate displacements and velocities following first (1LPT) or second order Lagrangian p...
متن کاملOn the problem of initial conditions in cosmological N- body simulations
– Cosmological N-body simulations aim to calculate the non-linear gravitational growth of structures via particle dynamics. A crucial problem concerns the setting-up of the initial particle distribution, as standard theories of galaxy formation predict the properties of the initial continuous density field with small amplitude correlated Gaussian fluctuations. The discretisation of such a field...
متن کاملTransients from Initial Conditions in Cosmological Simulations
We study the impact of setting initial conditions in numerical simulations using the standard procedure based on the Zel’dovich approximation (ZA). As it is well known from perturbation theory, ZA initial conditions have incorrect second and higher-order growth and therefore excite long-lived transients in the evolution of the statistical properties of density and velocity fields. We also study...
