Analysis the Principle and Realization for Cosmic Dust Simulation

Abstract

Astrophysics simulations are becoming crucial to the understanding of how the universe came to be the way it is today. Cosmic dusts are quite important in these astrophysics’ simulations, although they have only recently been introduced to the simulations. This study offers analysis on the different parts of current cosmic dust simulations. Astrophysics simulations and cosmic dusts’ role in this simulation was first discussed. Simulation requirements on cosmic dusts were then evaluated, both in the software and the hardware. The realization of cosmic dusts simulations was then discussed, focusing on the creation, growth, and destruction of cosmic dusts and briefly discussing the algorithmic process of incorporating calculations and presenting data. At last, limitations on current cosmic dusts simulations and some future prospects were proposed. These results provide an organization of the different prospects of current progresses in cosmic dust simulations, which could be beneficial as an overview of the topic and a base for which directions for future researches could be suggested.
