Invited Review given at the Vulcano Workshop "Chemical Enrichment of Intracluster and Intergalactic Medium", F. Matteucci & R.

Scientific paper

The effects of cluster mergers on the metal enrichment of the intra-cluster gas in clusters of galaxies are reviewed. Mergers can influence the metal production as well as the gas ejection processes, which transport the gas from the galaxy potential wells into the intra-cluster gas. Several processes are discussed: ram-pressure stripping, galactic winds and star formation activity. Simulations on different scales ranging from galaxy size to large-scale structure are presented.
