Description
Using the GIZMO code package for cosmological N-body/Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) problems, we worked on growth and evolution simulations for various black hole populations, by initializing several origin scenarios. This analysis aims to use the results of the simulations to compare them with the present black hole mass distribution. In doing this, predictions of the initial population of black holes, like the mass distribution and the black hole merger rate will directly contribute to future gravitational wave observatories (e.g. the LISA Space Mission).
