We present a new particle code for modelling the evolution of galaxies. The code is based on a multi-phase description for the interstellar medium (ISM). We included star formation (SF), stellar feedback by massive stars and planetary nebulae, phase transitions and interactions between gas clouds and ambient diffuse gas, namely condensation, evaporation, drag and energy dissipation. The latter is realised by radiative cooling and inelastic cloud-cloud collisions. We present new schemes for SF and stellar feedback. They include a consistent calculation of the star formation efficiency (SFE) based on ISM properties as well as a detailed redistribution of the feedback energy into the different ISM phases. As a first test example we show a model of the evolution of a present day Milky-Way-type galaxy. Though the model exhibits a quasi-stationary behaviour in global properties like mass fractions or surface densities, the evolution of the ISM is locally strongly variable depending on the local SF and stellar feedback. We start only with two distinct phases, but a three-phase ISM is formed soon consisting of cold molecular clouds, a warm gas disk and a hot gaseous halo. Hot gas is also found in bubbles in the disk accompanied by type II supernovae explosions. The star formation rate (SFR) is ~1.6 M_sun/year on average decreasing slowly with time due to gas consumption. In order to maintain a constant SFR gas replenishment, e.g. by infall, of the order 1 M_sun/year is required. Our model is in fair agreement with Kennicutts (1998) SF law including the cut-off at ~10 M_sun/pc^2. Models with a constant SFE, i.e. no feedback on the SF, fail to reproduce Kennicutts law.

We present a modified TREESPH code to model galaxies in 3d. The model includes a multi-phase description of the interstellar medium which combines two numerical techniques. A diffuse warm/hot gas phase is modelled by SPH while a sticky particle schem
e is used to represent a cloudy medium. Interaction processes, such as star formation and feedback, cooling and mixing by condensation and evaporation, are taken into account. Here we apply our model to the evolution of a Milky Way type galaxy. After an initial stage, a quasi-equilibrium state is reached. It is characterised by a star formation rate of ~1 M_sun/year. Condensation and evaporation rates are in balance at 0.1-1 M_sun/year.
We present a new particle based code with a multi-phase description of the ISM implemented in order to follow the chemo-dynamical evolution of galaxies. The multi-phase ISM consists of clouds (sticky particles) and diffuse gas (SPH): Exchange of matt
er, energy and momentum is achieved by drag (due to ram pressure) and condensation or evaporation. Based on time scales we show that in Milky-Way-like galaxies the drag force is for molecular clouds only important, if their relative velocities exceed 100 km/s. For the mass exchange we find that clouds evaporate only if the temperature of the ambient gas is higher than one million Kelvin. At lower temperatures condensation takes place at time scales of the order of 1-10 Gyr.
We present a 3d code for the dynamical evolution of a multi-phase interstellar medium (ISM) coupled to stars via star formation (SF) and feedback processes. The multi-phase ISM consists of clouds (sticky particles) and diffuse gas (SPH): exchange of
matter, energy and momentum is achieved by drag (due to ram pressure) and condensation or evaporation processes. The cycle of matter is completed by SF and feedback by SNe and PNe. A SF scheme based on a variable SF efficiency as proposed by Elmegreen & Efremov (1997) is presented. For a Milky Way type galaxy we get a SF rate of ~1 M_sun/yr with an average SF efficiency of ~5%.
The latest observations of molecular gas and the atomic hydrogen content of local and high-redshift galaxies, coupled with how these correlate with star formation activity, have revolutionized our ideas about how to model star formation in a galactic
context. A successful theory of galaxy formation has to explain some key facts: (i) high-redshift galaxies have higher molecular gas fractions and star formation rates than local galaxies, (ii) scaling relations show that the atomic-to-stellar mass ratio decreases with stellar mass in the local Universe, and (iii) the global abundance of atomic hydrogen evolves very weakly with time. We review how modern cosmological simulations of galaxy formation attempt to put these pieces together and highlight how approaches simultaneously solving dark matter and gas physics, and approaches first solving the dark matter N-body problem and then dealing with gas physics using semi-analytic models, differ and complement each other. We review the observable predictions, what we think we have learned so far and what still needs to be done in the simulations to allow robust testing by the new observations expected from telescopes such as ALMA, PdBI, LMT, JVLA, ASKAP, MeerKAT, SKA.
We make an inventory of the interstellar medium material in three low-metallicity dwarf spheroidal galaxies of the Local Group (NGC147, NGC185 and NGC205). Ancillary HI, CO, Spitzer IRS spectra, H{alpha} and X-ray observations are combined to trace t
he atomic, cold and warm molecular, ionised and hot gas phases. We present new Nobeyama CO(1-0) observations and Herschel SPIRE FTS [CI] observations of NGC205 to revise its molecular gas content. We derive total gas masses of M_gas = 1.9-5.5x10^5 Msun for NGC185 and M_gas = 8.6-25.0x10^5 Msun for NGC205. Non-detections combine to an upper limit on the gas mass of M_gas =< 0.3-2.2x10^5 Msun for NGC147. The observed gas reservoirs are significantly lower compared to the expected gas masses based on a simple closed-box model that accounts for the gas mass returned by planetary nebulae and supernovae. The gas-to-dust mass ratios GDR~37-107 and GDR~48-139 are also considerably lower compared to the expected GDR~370 and GDR~520 for the low metal abundances in NGC 185 (0.36 Zsun) and NGC205 (0.25 Zsun), respectively. To simultaneously account for the gas deficiency and low gas-to-dust ratios, we require an efficient removal of a large gas fraction and a longer dust survival time (~1.6 Gyr). We believe that efficient galactic winds (combined with heating of gas to sufficiently high temperatures in order for it to escape from the galaxy) and/or environmental interactions with neighbouring galaxies are responsible for the gas removal from NGC147, NGC185 and NGC205.
