SUMMARY:Galaxy clusters as hydrodynamics laboratories - Elke Roediger (Uni
 versity of Hull)

DESCRIPTION:The intra-cluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters shows a weal
 th of hydrodynamical features that trace the growth of clusters via\nthe i
 nfall of galaxies or smaller subclusters. Such hydrodynamical features inc
 lude the wakes of the infalling objects as well as\nthe interfaces between
  the host cluster’s ICM and the atmosphere of the infalling object. Furt
 hermore\, the cluster dynamics can be\ntraced by merger shocks\, bow shock
 s\, and sloshing motions of the ICM. Additionally\, the prominence of each
  of these features is\nmodified by transport coefficients in the ICM\, i.e
 .\, its viscosity and thermal conductivity.\nI will give an overview of ou
 r recent work on understanding and deciphering such traces of cluster grow
 th\, regarding both the\ngrowth history of clusters as well as transport p
 roperties of the ICM.\n
