Description
Recent years have seen impressive progress towards hydrodynamic
cosmological simulations of galaxy formation that try to account for
much of the relevant physics in a realistic fashion. At the same time,
numerical uncertainties and scaling limitations in the available
simulation codes have been recognized as important challenges. I will
review the state of the field in this area, highlighting a number of
recent results obtained with large SPH and mesh-based simulations. In
particular, I will discuss simulations that aim to produce disc
galaxies similar to the Milky Way, consistently embedded in the
cosmological framework of LCDM. I will also discuss the predicted dark
matter phase-space structure and some of its implicications for direct
and indirect dark matter detection experiments.(Host: S. Rosswog)
