6. Appendix A. Table of Simulations

Table 2 lists the major simulations of cluster cold fronts highlighted in this work, including the type of cold front simulated, the method of simulation (HD or MHD), whether or not viscosity and conductivity were included and whether they are isotropic or anisotropic, the dimensionality of the simulation, and the resolution.

1 R = Remnant-core, S = Sloshing
2 N = None, I = Isotropic, A = Anisotropic
3 Minimum resolution of simulation, for the “fiducial” simulation in the study.
4 Simulation performed in arbitary units, R is the radius of the core.
