N-body-galaxy

A simple particle-mesh code for N-body simulations on galaxy structure and evolution.

main.py: please initialize the particles in this file

params.py: set the basic simulation parameters here

force.py: calculate acceleration and force

Poisson.py: solve the Poisson equation numerically

mass_assign.py: get density field from particle distribution

profiles.py: custom analytical radial profiles of galaxies

Run the code

1. Create a new folder data in your work path.

   mkdir ./data
   

2. Run main.py to get particle data in each timestep.

   python main.py
   

3. Run visualize.py to visualize the results.

   python visualize.py
