Poster Title: Chemical Evolution in Smooth Particle Hydrodynamical Simulations
Abstract: The chemical properties of the ISM and the stellar populations are closely linked to stellar evolution and galaxy formation and evolution. Different physical processes acting at different scales play an important role in the production and distribution of chemical elements. The complexity of this problem requires sophisticated models, capable of integrating these processes together. The implementation of chemodynamical models in numerical codes, and particularly in hydrodynamical ones, opens a new and powerful tool to study the enrichment of the Universe within a cosmological framework. This implementation allows us to follow the hierarchical formation of the structure together with its chemical enrichment. Although several numerical milestones should be taken into consideration, hydrodynamical simulations including chemical enrichment allow the description of the non-linear evolution of the structure and its chemical enrichment, providing estimations that can be directly confronted with observations at different redshifts.
