As the objects with the largest dark matter densities and velocity dispersions, galaxy clusters are an ideal laboratory in which to search for evidence of dark matter self-interactions. I will discuss how self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) is implemented within cosmological simulations, and then how comparing these simulations with observations we can place constraints on the nature of dark matter.
