Modeling Astrophysical Explosions with Sustained Exascale Computing
arXiv:1510.05061
Abstract
Our understanding of stars and their fates is based on coupling observations to theoretical models. Unlike laboratory physicists, we cannot perform experiments on stars, but rather must patiently take what nature allows us to observe. Simulation offers a means of virtual experimentation, enabling a detailed understanding of the most violent ongoing explosions in the Universe---the deaths of stars.
