We consider a simple model in which baryonic matter flows past a cosmic string. We treat this problem in the Zel’dovich approximation. We compare our results with previous results obtained in the context of General Relativity and Scalar-Theories of Gravity.展开更多

As for the nominal cosmological model that can match nearly all observations on cosmological scales, I have adopted a flat Cold Dark Matter(CDM) model with a cosmological constant Λ(ΛCDM). The model parameters have been taken either from the latest result of the WMAP satellite(WMAP ΛCDM) or from the first year's result of the Planck satellite(Planck ΛCDM). Six simulations are produced in the ΛCDM models with two in the Planck model and the others in the WMAP model. In order for studying the non-linear evolution of the clustering, four simulations were also produced with 8.6 billion particles for the scale-free models of an initial power spectrum P(k) ∝ k^n with n = 0,-1,-1.5 or-2.0. Furthermore, two radical CDM models(XCDM) are simulated with 8.6 billion particles each. Since the XCDM have some of the model parameters distinct from those of the ΛCDM models, they must be unable to match the observations, but are very useful for studying how the clustering properties depend on the model parameters. The Friends-of-Friends(FoF) halos were identified for each snapshot and subhalos were produced by the Hierarchical Branch Tracing(HBT) algorithm. These simulations form a powerful database to study the growth and evolution of the cosmic structures both in theory and in observation.展开更多
