二阶拉格朗日摄动理论再模拟的初始条件

Second-order Lagrangian perturbation theory initial conditions for resimulations

Adrian Jenkins

摘要:

我们描述并测试了一种新的方法,创造初始条件的宇宙学N体暗物质模拟的基础上二阶拉格朗日微扰理论(2lpt)。该方法可以应用于多质量粒子分布,使其适合于创建resimulation,或“缩放”初始条件。通过对解析解的测试,我们表明,该方法适用于径向特征范围超过三个数量级的线性尺度和粒子质量的11个数量级的球对称扰动。我们应用该方法,并重复resimulations的快速形成的高质量晕在红移50和银河质量暗物质晕在红移0的形成。在这两种情况下,我们发现,许多性质的最终晕显示出一个小得多的灵敏度与2lpt初始条件的开始红移,比模拟开始从Zel'dovich初始条件。对于球形过密区域的结构形成是错误的延迟从Zel'dovich初始条件的模拟开始,我们证明的情况下,形成的高红移晕,这种延迟可以占使用球形塌缩模型。除了更准确外,2lpt初始条件允许模拟稍后开始,节省计算机时间。

英文摘要:

We describe and test a new method for creating initial conditions for cosmological N-body dark matter simulations based on second-order Lagrangian perturbation theory (2lpt). The method can be applied to multi-mass particle distributions making it suitable for creating resimulation, or `zoom' initial conditions. By testing against an analytic solution we show that the method works well for a spherically symmetric perturbation with radial features ranging over more than three orders of magnitude in linear scale and eleven orders of magnitude in particle mass. We apply the method and repeat resimulations of the rapid formation of a high mass halo at redshift fifty and the formation of a Milky-Way mass dark matter halo at redshift zero. In both cases we find that many properties of the final halo show a much smaller sensitivity to the start redshift with the 2lpt initial conditions, than simulations started from Zel'dovich initial conditions. For spherical overdense regions structure formation is erroneously delayed in simulations starting from Zel'dovich initial conditions, and we demonstrate for the case of the formation the high redshift halo that this delay can be accounted for using the spherical collapse model. In addition to being more accurate, 2lpt initial conditions allow simulations to start later, saving computer time.
