The Impact of Non-thermal Processes in the Intracluster Medium on Cosmological Cluster Observables

In this thesis we describe the generation and analysis of hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters and their intracluster medium (ICM), using large cosmological boxes to generate large samples, in conjunction with individual cluster computations. The main focus is the exploration of the non-the...
