SUMMARY:Next-Generation Cosmological Simulations: Galaxy Assembly and 
 Evolution\, Astronomy Colloquium\, Lars Hernquist\, ITC/Harvard
DESCRIPTION:A predictive theory of galaxy formation remains elusive\, 
 even after more than 50 years of dedicated effort by many renowned<br>
 
\nastrophysicists.  The problem of galaxy formation is made difficult
  by the large range in scales involved and the many non-linear physica
 l processes at play.  This talk describes a new generation of numerica
 l models that are designed to overcome these difficulties based on nov
 el schemes for solving the fluid equations on a moving mesh. Initial r
 esults from this study provide insight into many aspects of galaxy ass
 embly and the relationship between galaxies and cosmologically-distrib
 uted baryons.
