We calculate some indicators, which are closely related with galaxy clusters' substructure, for each cluster obtained in numerical simulations in OCDM and ΓCDM, and make a statistical comparison between two models. In ΓCDM the indicators, multipole moment power ratios and center shifts, are larger than those in OCDM. This result is consistent with the analytical prediction; galaxy clusters' formation epoch in ΓCDM is later than in OCDM and then clusters in OCDM are more relaxed than those in ΓCDM. We show that these indicators for X-ray surface brightness are useful tools to distinguish between OCDM and ΓCDM.
