Adding long-wavelength modes to an N-body simulation

We present a new method to add long-wavelength power to an evolved N-body simulation, making use of the Zeldovich approximation to change positions and velocities of particles. We describe the theoretical framework of our technique and apply it to a P3M cosmological simulation performed on a cube of 100 Mpc on a side, obtaining a new "simulation" of 800 Mpc on a side. We study the effect of the power added by long waves by means of several statistics of the density and velocity field, and we suggest possible applications of our method to the study of the large-scale structure of the universe.
