We present a numerical simulation of two merging equal-mass, gas-rich disk galaxies. Special emphasis is given to an accurate treatment of the interstellar medium physics and star formation with its feedback. We will explain how the negative feedback from young stars restricts the bulk of the star formation during the merger-induced starburst to the nucleus.
