Abstract

A new Chemo-Dynamical Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (CD-SPH) code is presented. The disk galaxy is described as a multi-fragmented gas and star system, embedded in a cold dark matter halo with a rigid potential field. The star formation (SF) process, SNII, SNIa and PN events, and the chemical enrichment of gas, have all been considered within the framework of the standard SPH model, which we use to describe the dynamical and chemical evolution of triaxial disk-like galaxies. It is found that such approach provides a realistic description of the process of formation, chemical and dynamical evolution of disk galaxies over a cosmological timescale.
