Innovative Uses of Parallel Computers

Abstract

One of the significant discoveries that was made was primarily supported by the ONR and involves the development and extensive simulations of an original model that demonstrates the viability of the 'lattice-gas' approach to hydrodynamics. The model overcomes major difficulties of the previous discrete approaches. These difficulties can be traced to discretization artifacts that introduce a violation of the Galilean invariance and spurious energy terms in the equation of state.
