Even with extremely powerful modern supercomputers “anything beyond the simplest turbulent flows is too chaotic and multiscaled to be directly simulatable.” However, an international group of ...

Supercomputers play a vital role in scientific discoveries — from helping us forecast climate change to discovering new drugs. We've rounded up the top fastest on the planet right now.

However, even with modern supercomputers, a direct and accurate simulation of all but the simplest turbulent flows remains out of reach, and a complete understanding of turbulence has eluded ...
