Shock finding on a moving-mesh: II. Hydrodynamic shocks in the Illustris universe
Kevin Schaal, Volker Springel, Rüdiger Pakmor +7
Hydrodynamical shocks are a manifestation of the non-linearity of the Euler equations and play a fundamental role in cosmological gas dynamics. In this work, we identify and analys…
Astrophysical hydrodynamics with a high-order discontinuous Galerkin scheme and adaptive mesh refinement
Kevin Schaal, Andreas Bauer, Praveen Chandrashekar +3
Solving the Euler equations of ideal hydrodynamics as accurately and efficiently as possible is a key requirement in many astrophysical simulations. It is therefore important to co…
Shock finding on a moving-mesh: I. Shock statistics in non-radiative cosmological simulations
Kevin Schaal, Volker Springel
Cosmological shock waves play an important role in hierarchical structure formation by dissipating and thermalizing kinetic energy of gas flows, thereby heating the universe. Furth…
