Members of the IfA work on simulations of astrophysical systems, from the formation of planetary systems in the Galaxy to the evolution of cosmic structures and the large-scale structure of the Universe.
Our areas of focus include structured-grid finite difference schemes, smoothed particle hydrodynamics, compressible flows involving gravity, the application of particle-based methods to the gravitational N-body problem, and accellerated radiative-transfer algorithms.
The IfA also has close links to members of the Applied Mathematics group within the School of Mathematics.
