Simulations of Merging Clusters of Galaxies
arXiv:astro-ph/0010006
Abstract
Numerical simulations of cluster mergers reveal many characteristics of the merging process: shock structure and strength, observational signatures of the dynamical state, effects on the mass determination, turbulence and the evolution of the X-ray luminosity and the magnetic field. In this article I review the results obtained from various simulations over the last years.
