Contour advection tracer method in smoothed particle hydrodynamics

Fields, Tiffany M. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)

Studying the evolution of galaxies is important in understanding many other astrophysical phenomenon. However, this process required numerical work due to long timescales over which evolution occurs. To study the effects ...
Feedback from active galactic nuclei : a study of its impact and numerical implementations

Wurster, James Howard (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)

Feedback from active galactic nuclei is now widely regarded as playing a fundamental role in modern theories of galaxy formation. Recent research has highlighted that not only may AGN feedback suppress star formation by ...
Investigating the impact of stellar feedback algorithms on galactic evolution

Pillsworth, Samantha R. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)

The numerical algorithm used to implement stellar feedback in a galactic simulation will strongly influence the resulting disk. Using two disks from the MUGS2 simulation suite (Keller et al., 2015), we study the morphologies ...
Properties of the simulated agn activity function in isolated galaxy mergers

Hani, Maan H. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)

Numerical modeling of active galactic nuclei (AGN) poses many challenges, from uncertainties about the underlying physics to dynamic range issues. We present a study of simulated activity functions (AF; the differential ...
