Abstract
Collisions between clusters of galaxies are investigated to determine whether the systems will survive their first encounter. Numerical simulations show that two clusters can pass through one another without destroying the individual optical components. The gas in the clusters will be strongly affected and cooling flows in them may be disrupted.Keywords
