Scientific paper

The metal enrichment of the intra-cluster medium within a hierarchical structure formation scenario is investigated using a combination of N-body + Hydro simulations and semi-analytic models of galaxy formation. In our simulation, rates and sites of star formation are identified and gas particles in the environment of these `galaxies' are then enriched with metals using various prescriptions. We investigate the paths of enriched particles, demonstrating how gas enriched at higher redshifts is distributed in a cluster after it has formed. We are then able to predict a number of observable quantities such as the radial profiles of metals from both SNII and SNIa and the evolution of metal content with redshift.
