Direct Large-Scale N-Body Simulations of Planetesimal Dynamics
We describe a new direct numerical method for simulating planetesimal dynamics in which N∼ 106 or more bodies can be evolved simultaneously in three spatial dimensions over hundreds of dynamical times. This represents several orders of magnitude improvement in resolution over previous studies. The advance is made possible through modification of a stable and tested cosmological code optimized f...
متن کاملN-Body Simulations of Planetesimal Evolution:Effect of Varying Impactor Mass Ratio
We present results from direct N-body simulations of collisions between gravitational aggregates of varying size as part of a study to parameterize planetesimal growth in the Solar System. We find that as the ratio of projectile to target mass departs from unity, the impact angle has less effect on the outcome. At the same time, the probability of planetesimal growth increases. Conversely, for ...
متن کاملHalo Models of Large Scale Structure and Reliability of Cosmological N -Body Simulations
Halo models of the large scale structure of the Universe are critically examined, focusing on the definition of halos as smooth distributions of cold dark matter. This definition is essentially based on the results of cosmological N-body simulations. By a careful analysis of the standard assumptions of halo models and N-body simulations and by taking into account previous studies of self-simila...
متن کاملDirect N-body Simulations of Rubble Pile Collisions
There is increasing evidence that many kilometer-sized bodies in the Solar System are piles of rubble bound together by gravity. We present results from a project to map the parameter space of collisions between kilometer-sized spherical rubble piles. The results will assist in parameterization of collision outcomes for Solar System formation models and give insight into disruption scaling laws...
متن کاملThe Roles of Sparse Direct Methods in Large-scale Simulations
Sparse systems of linear equations and eigen-equations arise at the heart of many large-scale, vital simulations in DOE. Examples include the Accelerator Science and Technology SciDAC (Omega3P code, electromagnetic problem), the Center for Extended Magnetohydrodynamic Modeling SciDAC (NIMROD and M3D-C codes, fusion plasma simulation). The Terascale Optimal PDE Simulations (TOPS) is providing hi...
