Description
I will present the new Kiara galaxy formation simulations. Embedded within the SWIFT cosmological hydrodynamics code, Kiara builds on the successful Simba simulation model to incorporate a number of new physical processes such as a subgrid dust-H2-SF ISM model, non-decoupled kinetic winds, and state of the art chemical evolution. I will also update progress on ongoing work towards Kiara-RT for radiative hydrodynamics simulations of the early Universe. I will describe these models and present initial results, particularly exploring the expanded range of observational comparisons enabled using Kiara's novel input physics.
