Chemo-dynamical simulations of dwarf galaxy evolution
  In this review I give a summary of the state-of-the-art for what concerns the
chemo-dynamical numerical modelling of galaxies in general and of dwarf
galaxies in particular. In particular, I focus my attention on (i) initial
conditions; (ii) the equations to solve; (iii) the star formation process in
galaxies; (iv) the initial mass function; (v) the chemical feedback; (vi) the
mechanical feedback; (vii) the environmental effects. Moreover, some key
results concerning the development of galactic winds in galaxies and the fate
of heavy elements, freshly synthesised after an episode of star formation, have
been reported. At the end of this review, I summarise the topics and physical
processes, relevant for the evolution of galaxies, that in my opinion are not
properly treated in modern computer simulations of galaxies and that deserve
more attention in the future.
