From Large Simulations to Interactive Numerical Laboratories
High Performance Computing is becoming an instrument in its own right. The largest simulations performed on our supercomputers are now approaching petabytes. As the volume of these simulations is growing, it is becoming harder to access, analyze and visualize these data. At the same time for a broad community buy-in we need to provide public access to some of the simulation results. This is bec...
متن کاملThe formation of asteroid satellites in large impacts: results from numerical simulations
We present results of 161 numerical simulations of impacts into 100-km diameter asteroids, examining debris trajectories to search for the formation of bound satellite systems. Our simulations utilize a 3-dimensional smooth-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code to model the impact between the colliding asteroids. The outcomes of the SPH models are handed off as the initial conditions for N-body sim...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of kinematic dynamo action
Numerical simulations of kinematic dynamo action in steady and three-dimensional ABC flows are presented with special focus on the difference in growth rates between cases with single and multiple periods of the prescribed velocity field. It is found that the difference in growth rate (apart from a trivial factor stemming from a scaling of the rate of strain with the wavenumber of the velocity ...
متن کاملSodium channels amplify spine potentials.
Dendritic spines mediate most excitatory synapses in the brain. Past theoretical work and recent experimental evidence have suggested that spines could contain sodium channels. We tested this by measuring the effect of the sodium channel blocker tetrodotoxin (TTX) on depolarizations generated by two-photon uncaging of glutamate on spines from mouse neocortical pyramidal neurons. In practically ...
متن کاملLarge numerical simulations of turbulent rotating flows
Scientific context Rotation, as measured by the Rossby number (the ratio of the rotation period to the eddy turn over time) is present in astroand geophysics. For example, the high Reynolds number large scales of atmospheric and oceanic flows are affected by the rotation of the Earth; the Rossby number Ro = U0/[L0Ω] for mid-latitude atmospheric synoptic scales is Ro ≈ 0.1 whereas in the solar c...
