Recent work has shown that searches for diffuse radio emission by MeerKAT – and eventually the SKA – are well suited to provide some of the strongest constraints yet on dark matter annihilations. To make full use of the observations by these facilities, accurate simulations of the expected dark matter abundance and diffusion mechanisms in these astrophysical objects are required. However, because of the computational costs involved, various mathematical and numerical techniques have been developed to perform the calculations in a feasible manner. Here we provide the first quantitative comparison between methods that are commonly used in the literature, and outline the applicability of each one in various simulation scenarios. These considerations are becoming ever more important as the hunt for dark matter continues into a new era of precision radio observations.
