Optimal Softening for N -body Simulations
We propose a strategy for determining the optimal softening length in N -body simulations. This strategy ensures that the ensemble-average acceleration error is minimal at a small radius r0, and that the error never exceeds the optimal value beyond r0. Analytic formulae are derived for calculating the acceleration error for any halo profile or softened gravity so that the optimal softening leng...
متن کاملOptimal Softening for N -body Halo Simulations
We propose to determine the optimal softening length in N -body halo simulations by minimizing the ensemble-average acceleration error at a small radius r0. This strategy ensures that the error never exceeds the optimal value beyond r0. Furthermore, we derive semi-analytic formulae for calculating the acceleration error due to the discreteness of particles and softened gravity, which are valida...
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 ...
متن کاملN-body Code for Cosmological Simulations
We present a new high-resolution N -body algorithm for cosmological simulations. The algorithm employs a traditional particle-mesh technique on a cubic grid and successive multilevel relaxations on the finer meshes, introduced recursively in a fully adaptive manner in the regions where the density exceeds a predefined threshold. The mesh is generated to effectively match an arbitrary geometry o...
