| Abstract: |
I review recent progress in numerically simulating the formation and evolution of galaxies in hierarchically clustering universes. Special emphasis is given to results based on high resolution gas dynamical simulations. Phenomenological models to incorporate the effects of star formation and of feedback processes are discussed, as well as methods to calibrate such recipes. Applications address the origin of galaxy morphology and galaxy scaling laws, the properties of high redshift galaxies as well as the relation between high-z galaxies and the present day galaxy population. |
