Dynamical Simulations: Methods and Comparisons
D. C. Heggie, M. Giersz, R. Spurzem, K. Takahashi
Abstract
We review recent progress in computational methods for studying the dynamical evolution of large star clusters. After describing some highlights of a new comparison of different models, including N-body models, we mention in detail recent developments in three codes which allow models with anisotropic distributions of velocity to be studied: (i) a Fokker-Planck code using finite differences, (ii) a Monte Carlo code and (iii) a gaseous model code.
