Based on 3D smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations performed
with unprecedented high resolution, this book examines the giant
impacts that dominate many planets' late accretion and evolution.
The numerical methods developed are now publicly available, greatly
facilitating future studies of planetary impacts in our solar
system and exoplanetary systems. The book focuses on four main
topics: (1) The development of new methods to construct initial
conditions as well as a hydrodynamical simulation code to evolve
them, using 1000 times more simulation particles than the previous
standard. (2) The numerical convergence of giant impact simulations
-- standard-resolution simulations fail to converge on even bulk
properties like the post-impact rotation period. (3) The collision
thought to have knocked over the planet Uranus causing it to spin
on its side. (4) The erosion of atmospheres by giant impacts onto
terrestrial planets, and the first full 3D simulations of
collisions in this regime.
