Simulations of thermal plumes addressed.
HiPerGator Simulations 'Solve Mother Nature' to Address Real-World Problems

University of Florida (UF) researchers reproduced the turbulence and complexity of thermal wall plumes using the university's HiPerGator supercomputer. The complexity of air movements long made it impossible to perform detailed simulations of hot air rising along a vertical surface, but the supercomputer enabled researchers to track air movements on the sub-millimeter level. The simulation utilized 125 of the HiPerGator AI cluster's 140 nodes, each of which hosts eight graphics processing units and 128 central processing units. Said UF's Sivaramakrishnan Balachandar, "Using computers, we solve Mother Nature, and what the computer simulation gives us is unprecedented access into all the details of what happens inside. With our simulation, we can go into the wall plume and see every nook and cranny."
