Cosmological Simulations

Cosmological Simulations is a computational framework in numerical astrophysics that models the formation and evolution of large-scale structures in the universe by solving the equations of gravity, hydrodynamics, and cosmological expansion within a representative volume of space, distinguished from other astrophysical simulations by its incorporation of dark matter dynamics and cosmic initial conditions derived from the ΛCDM model.
