Abstract:
We present our recently developed 3-dimensional
chemodynamical code for galaxy evolution. It follows the evolution of
all components of a galaxy such as dark matter, stars, molecular clouds
and diffuse interstellar matter (ISM). Dark matter and stars are
treated as collisionless N-body systems. The ISM is numerically
described by a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approach for the
diffuse (hot) gas and a sticky particle scheme for the (cool) molecular
clouds. Additionally, the galactic components are coupled by several
phase transitions like star formation, stellar death or condensation
and evaporation processes within the ISM. As an
example here we present the dynamical, chemical and photometric
evolution of a star forming dwarf galaxy with a total baryonic mass of
2x109Mo.
