I discuss galaxy evolution in different environments based on the results of numerical simulations on environment-dependent physical processes such as ram pressure stripping, strangulation, slow and fast galaxy encounters, and galaxy merging. Firstly I show some numerical results on how the above environment-dependent processes influence star formation histories, structure evolution, and photometric and spectroscopic evolution of galaxies. Then I discuss a number of specific problems, such as formation and evolution of S0 galaxies, origin of passive spirals, and galaxy evolution in merging groups and clusters of galaxies. |
