Summary

In recent years, simulations of the interaction between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the intracluster medium (ICM) have become increasingly realistic and sophisticated. Most hydrodynamical simulations are now three-dimensional, some simulations have started to explore the effects of conductivity, viscosity and magnetic fields. The latest generation of simulations start from realistic cluster environments taken out of cosmological simulations. In these proceedings, we wish to present two recent advances in our understanding of how the AGN interacts with the ICM. The first concerns the metal distributions in cool core clusters and the second concerns the morphology of AGN jets and their energy deposition subject to the ambient motions in the cluster.
