Transients from initial conditions based on Lagrangian perturbation theory in N-body simulations III: The case of Gadget-2 code

In modern cosmology, the precision of the theoretical prediction is increasingly required. In cosmological N-body simulations, the effect of higher-order Lagrangian perturbation on the initial conditions appears in terms of statistical quantities of matter density field. We have considered the effect of third-order Lagrangian perturbation theory (3LPT) on the initial conditions, which can be applied to Gadget-2 code. Then, as statistical quantities, non-Gaussianity of matter density field has been compared between cases of different order perturbations for the initial conditions. Then, we demonstrate the validity of the initial conditions with second-order Lagrangian perturbation theory (2LPT).
