Planetary Giant Impacts: Convergence of High-Resolution Simulations using Efficient Spherical Initial Conditions and SWIFT

J. A. Kegerreis, V. R. Eke, P. G. Gonnet +4

We perform simulations of giant impacts onto the young Uranus using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) with over 100 million particles. This 100--1000$\times$ improvement in par…
