6th and 8th Order Hermite Integrator for N-body Simulations
We present sixthand eighth-order Hermite integrators for astrophysical N -body simulations, which use the derivatives of accelerations up to second order (snap) and third order (crackle). These schemes do not require previous values for the corrector, and require only one previous value to construct the predictor. Thus, they are fairly easy to be implemented. The additional cost of the calculat...
متن کاملDesign of a Mechanical N-body Integrator
This document describes a gravitational N-body integration algorithm incorporating the following features: (1) it is exactly (neglecting rounding errors) time-reversible, (2) angular and linear momentum are conserved, (3) smooth switching functions are used to split potential terms into local and weak parts so that weaker long-range forces are evaluated relatively rarely and close interactions ...
متن کاملJANUS: A bit-wise reversible integrator for N-body dynamics
Hamiltonian systems such as the gravitational N-body problem have time-reversal symmetry. However, all numerical N-body integration schemes, including symplectic ones, respect this property only approximately. In this paper, we present the new N-body integrator JANUS, for which we achieve exact time-reversal symmetry by combining integer and floating point arithmetic. JANUS is explicit, formall...
متن کاملGravitational N -Body Simulations
This book discusses in detail all the relevant numerical methods for the classical N body problem. It demonstrates how to develop clear and elegant algorithms for models of gravitational systems and explains the fundamental methematical tools needed to describe the dynamics of a large number of mutually attractive particles. Particular attention is given to the techniques needed to model astrop...
متن کاملGravitational N-body Simulations
Gravitational N-body simulations, that is numerical solutions of the equations of motions for N particles interacting gravitationally, are widely used tools in astrophysics, with applications from few body or solar system like systems all the way up to galactic and cosmological scales. In this article we present a summary review of the field highlighting the main methods for N-body simulations ...
