DESCRIPTION:I will present results from two recent/ongoing projects relate
 d to simulating SMBHs. Feedback in the form of AGN jets is clearly acting 
 in galaxy clusters\, however\, the exact mechanism by which the jet energy
  is communicated to the ICM is still to be fully understood. Current cosmo
 logical simulations lack the resolution to fully capture AGN jets and lobe
  inflation\, while jet simulations are perform in idealised environments t
 hat neglect cluster weather. I will present simulations that include high 
 resolution jets in a cosmologically evolved cluster\, discuss the ICM heat
 ing mechanisms and the role of cluster weather. I will further present cur
 rent work that considers the effect of ICM magnetic fields on this process
 . If time\, I will additionally present results from a separate current pr
 oject simulating SMBH binaries in gas rich circumbinary discs\, outline ho
 w the binaries evolve due to accretion and gas torques\, and discuss the s
 pin evolution of the SMBHs.
