We present first results of numerical simulations of the dynamics of all three components of a galaxy cluster: the dark matter, the intracluster gas, and the member galaxies. Our first aim is to understand the enrichment of the gas component by studying various interaction processes between cluster galaxies and the intracluster gas, notably ram-pressure stripping and galactic winds. Our second aim is to find out how fast metals originating from such interaction processes diffuse throughtout the cluster, in order to understand observed metallicity maps of galaxy clusters obtained from X-ray observations.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
