They’re a product of the VIRGO consortium for cosmological supercomputer simulations. FLAMINGO stands for Full-hydro Large-scale structure simulations with All-sky Mapping for the Interpretation of Next Generation Observations. Its main science goals are to carry out a suite of massive cosmological simulations. These latest and largest model universe simulations executed on a supercomputer cluster at Durhan University in the UK.
The VIRGO consortium focuses on the evolution of the intergalactic medium, the formation and evolution of galaxies, galaxy clusters, large-scale structures, the formation of dark matter haloes, and the large-scale distribution of dark matter. The FLAMINGO simulations go further, tracking not only dark but also ordinary matter . The result is a glimpse of how the Universe may have evolved.So, how do you go about simulating the Universe? First, you need data about everything that’s out there.
