Special Issue: High‐Performance Computing and Physics

Steven A. Orszag and Norman J. Zabusky
OpenURL
Show Topic
Concurrent computation and high‐speed communication offer opportunities for simulations of more realistic physics.

Visiometrics, Juxtaposition and Modeling

Norman J. Zabusky, Deborah Silver, Richard Pelz, and Vizgroup
OpenURL
Show Topic
High‐performance computers that allow users to visualize and diagnose numerical simulations and interact with them rapidly are boosting scientific productivity in the study of complex and turbulent systems.

Nodes, Modes and Flow Codes

George Em Karniadakis and Steven A. Orszag
OpenURL
Show Topic
Massively parallel supercomputers seem the best hope for achieving progress on ‘grand challenge’ problems such as understanding high‐Reynolds‐number turbulent flows.

Modeling Oceanic and Atmospheric Vortices

David G. Dritschel and Bernard Legras
OpenURL
Show Topic
Violent storms in the English Channel, the growth of the ozone hole and the Great Red Spot of Jupiter are all problems in planetary fluid dynamics that challenge our most powerful computers.

Computer Models of Colliding Galaxies

Joshua E. Barnes and Lars E. Hernquist
OpenURL
Show Topic
Simulations offer insights into transformations of galaxies: Colliding spiral galaxies can merge, undergo bursts of rapid star formation and evolve to become elliptical galaxies.

High‐Performance Computing and Plasma Physics

John M. Dawson, Viktor Decyk, Richard Sydora, and Paulett Liewer
OpenURL
Show Topic
Computer models such as the ‘numerical tokamak’ will advance all areas of plasma science, including basic plasma physics, fusion physics, space plasmas and industrial plasma processing.
