Discover how El Capitan revolutionizes simulations by providing unprecedented detail of shock waves and fluid mixing.
El Capitan , the fastest supercomputer in the world, can now simulate extreme events like shock waves or fluid mixing at high speed in a way that looks much closer to reality than ever before. The supercomputer was built for scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the U.S.Usual computers are known for giving blurred pictures of these simulation events. El Capitan , however, creates high-resolution images, providing details about tiny features that can help analyze real physics.
In extreme conditions like shockwaves or explosions, this effect becomes very turbulent and chaotic, making it hard to capture accurately in experiments.The researchers developed a model in which a shockwave struck a minute ripple at the boundary between two materials, triggering intense mixing and forming vortex-like patterns.These turbulent flows, resembling whirlpools, are notoriously complex and have long posed significant challenges for accurate modeling.
