We describe numerical methods for incorporating gas dynamics into cosmological simulations and present illustrative applications to the cold dark matter (CDM) scenario. Our evolution code, a version of TreeSPH (Hernquist \& Katz 1989) generalized to handle comoving coordinates and periodic boundary conditions, combines smoothed--particle hydrodynamics (SPH) with the hierarchical tree method for computing gravitational forces. The Lagrangian hydrodynamics approach and individual time steps for gas particles give the algorithm a large dynamic range, which is essential for studies of galaxy formation in a cosmological context. The code incorporates radiative cooling for an optically thin, primordial composition gas in ionization equilibrium with a user-specified ultraviolet background. We adopt a phenomenological prescription for star formation that gradually turns cold, dense, Jeans-unstable gas into collisionless stars, returning supernova feedback energy to the surrounding medium. In CDM simulations, some of the baryons that fall into dark matter potential wells dissipate their acquired thermal energy and condense into clumps with roughly galactic masses. The resulting galaxy population is insensitive to assumptions about star formation; we obtain similar baryonic mass functions and galaxy correlation functions from simulations with star formation and from simulations without star formation in which we identify galaxies directly from the cold, dense gas.

Outflows in super-Eddington quasars drive clumpy circumgalactic medium and extended H$\alpha$ nebulae at $z \gtrsim 6$
In z≈6 quasar simulations, super-Eddington black-hole growth clears escape channels, ejects cold clumps that raise neutral-hydrogen covering, and powers extended Hα nebulae that shrink when the quasar is obscured.

Tidal origin of dark-matter free dwarf galaxies in the NGC 1052 group
The DM-free dwarfs around NGC 1052 may be tidal dwarf galaxies produced by the same 1:1 major merger that formed the elliptical galaxy NGC 1052.

3D matter power spectrum correspondence to 1D Lyman-alpha flux power spectrum
A phenomenological recipe maps 3D matter power to 1D Lyman-alpha flux power, adds warm dark matter and pressure cutoffs in quadrature, and matches simulations to within 5-20%.

The Millennium and Astrid galaxies in effective field theory: comparison with galaxy-halo connection models at the field level
Red and blue simulated galaxies can be described by the same field-level effective field theory as halo mocks, but blue galaxies require the dedicated HMQ model rather than LRG-style HOD models.
