Astronomers have developed a computer simulation to explore, in unprecedented detail, magnetism and turbulence in the interstellar medium (ISM)—the vast ocean of gas and charged particles that lies ...

Early astronomers painstakingly studied the subtle movements of stars in the night sky to try and determine how our planet moves in relation to other celestial bodies. As technology has increased, so ...

Using HLRS’s Hawk supercomputer, University of Stuttgart scientists have for the first time produced high-resolution simulation data characterizing the transition from low to high Reynolds numbers in ...

A new simulation of the galaxy’s magnetic turbulence shakes up how we think about—and visualize—the astrophysical environments. The model was developed by James Beattie, a postdoctoral fellow at the ...

Researchers have uncovered a previously hidden heating process that helps explain how the atmosphere that surrounds the Sun called the “solar corona” can be vastly hotter than the solar surface that ...

A major research area in deep learning and computer vision is augmenting datasets artificially. The philosophy behind data augmentation is to make the training distribution more diverse so that the ...

"Turbulence remains one of the greatest unsolved problems in classical mechanics." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. In between all ...

Despite being among the most researched topics on supercomputers, a fundamental understanding of the effects of turbulent motion on fluid flows still eludes scientists. A new approach aims to change ...

Divertor localised turbulent transport has been sparsely studied, yet can have a significant impact on the performance of the device and longevity of divertor components through factors including: The ...

Researchers have uncovered a previously hidden heating process that helps explain how the atmosphere that surrounds the Sun called the “solar corona” can be vastly hotter than the solar surface that ...

A multi-institution collaboration has been studying turbulence's influence on galaxy formation. The team recently revealed the so-called 'sonic scale' of astrophysical turbulence -- marking the ...
