N-Body Simulation

N-body simulation is a computational method for modeling the dynamics of a system of particles under mutual gravitational forces. Originating from Newton's laws of motion and gravitation, it solves the fundamental equations of celestial mechanics. This technique is essential for understanding planetary orbits, star cluster evolution, and cosmological structure formation.
