A challenging requirement posed by next-generation observations is a firm theoretical grasp of the impact of baryons on structure formation. Cosmological hydrodynamic simulations modeling gas physics are vital in this regard. A high degree of modeling flexibility exists in this space, making it important to explore a range of methods in order to gauge the accuracy of simulation predictions. We present results from the first cosmological simulation using Conservative Reproducing Kernel Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (CRK-SPH). We employ two simulations: one evolved purely under gravity, and the other with nonradiative hydrodynamics. Each contains 2 × 23043 cold dark matter plus baryon particles in an 800 h-1Mpc box. We compare statistics to previous nonradiative simulations including power spectra, mass functions, baryon fractions, and concentration. We find self-similar radial profiles of gas temperature, entropy, and pressure and show that a simple analytic model recovers these results to better than 40% over two orders of magnitude in mass. We quantify the level of nonthermal pressure support in halos and demonstrate that hydrostatic mass estimates are biased low by 24% (10%) for halos of mass 1015 (1013) h-1 M⊙. Here, we compute angular power spectra for the thermal and kinematic Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effects and find good agreement with the low-ℓ Planck measurements. Finally, artificial scattering between particles of unequal mass is shown to have a large impact on the gravity-only run, and we highlight the importance of better understanding this issue in hydrodynamic applications. This is the first in a simulation campaign using CRK-SPH, with future work including subresolution gas treatments.
