Abstract
We examine the distribution and properties of shock waves within a couple of Mpc from cluster center with single-level grid simulations using up to 20483 grid zones. The effects of cooling/heating and feedbacks from galaxies are also incorporated. There are two different populations of shocks, merger shocks and accretion shocks. We discuss the manifestation of shocks through radio relics.
