Description

Dark matter (DM), if exists, is believed to be cold, collisionless, dissipationless, non-baryonic, barely interacting with baryonic matter except through gravity, and sufficiently smooth on large scales with a fluid-like behavior. The flow of dark matter can be best described by a self-gravitating collisionless fluid dynamics (SG-CFD). The statistics of dark matter density, velocity, acceleration, energy, momentum, and their redshift evolution play essential roles for structure formation and evolution. These information can be systematically extracted from cosmological N-body simulations by either i) a structural (halo-based) or ii) a statistical (correlation-based) approach. In this correlation-based statistical dataset, i) all particle pairs with any given separation r in a N-body system are identified; ii) statistical measures are calculated over all particle pairs with the same separation r (pairwise average); iii) the redshift (z) and scale (r) dependence of all statistical measures (correlation/moment/structure/dispersion/spectrum functions for density, velocity and potential etc.) are presented.
