宇宙学多尺度高斯初始条件相位设置的一种新方法

A new way of setting the phases for cosmological multi-scale Gaussian initial conditions

Adrian Jenkins

摘要:

我们描述了如何定义一个非常大的离散实现的高斯白噪声场,具有层次结构和属性的字段的任何部分的值可以快速计算。这样一个场的微小子区域可以用来设置高斯初始条件的相位信息,用于结构形成的个体宇宙学模拟。该方法具有以下特点:(i)基于八叉树的层次结构特别适合于生成后续再模拟或缩放初始条件;(ii)预先为所有相关的物理尺度定义相位,使得再模拟初始条件通过构造既与它们的父模拟一致,又彼此一致;(iii)可以通过发布计算场的代码来容易地使场公开-一旦公开,可以通过指定实现内的空间位置来共享或发布相位信息。在本文中,我们描述了创建这样的实现背后的原则。我们定义了一个名为PANPHASIA的例子,并在arXiv(Jenkins & Booth)上的一篇配套论文中公开了一个计算它的代码,在50个八叉树层次上,PANPHASIA的线性尺度超过了10^15倍--这个范围大大超过了当前哈勃半径与假定的CDM自由流尺度的比值。我们将展示如何修改用于制作宇宙学和reimulation初始条件的代码,使其可以从Panphasia的相位信息,并使用此代码,我们证明,它是可能的,使质量良好的reimulation初始条件。我们定义了一个公约,用于发布相位信息Panphasia和发布的初始阶段的几个室女座联盟的最近的宇宙学模拟,包括3030亿粒子MXXL模拟。

英文摘要:

We describe how to define an extremely large discrete realisation of a Gaussian white noise field that has a hierarchical structure and the property that the value of any part of the field can be computed quickly. Tiny subregions of such a field can be used to set the phase information for Gaussian initial conditions for individual cosmological simulations of structure formation. This approach has several attractive features: (i) the hierarchical structure based on an octree is particular well suited for generating follow up resimulation or zoom initial conditions; (ii) the phases are defined for all relevant physical scales in advance so that resimulation initial conditions are, by construction, consistent both with their parent simulation and with each other; (iii) the field can easily be made public by releasing a code to compute it - once public, phase information can be shared or published by specifying a spatial location within the realisation. In this paper we describe the principles behind creating such realisations. We define an example called PANPHASIA and in a companion paper on arXiv (Jenkins & Booth), make public a code to compute it. With fifty octree levels Panphasia spans a factor of more than 10^15 in linear scale - a range that significantly exceeds the ratio of the current Hubble radius to the putative CDM free-streaming scale. We show how to modify a code used for making cosmological and resimulation initial conditions so that it can take the phase information from Panphasia and, using this code, we demonstrate that it is possible to make good quality resimulation initial conditions. We define a convention for publishing phase information from Panphasia and publish the initial phases for several of the Virgo Consortium's most recent cosmological simulations including the 303 billion particle MXXL simulation.
