(DURIP) Exploring and Controlling Spatio Temporal Chaos Under Complex Structures through Visualization: A Mini-Supercomputer Approach

Abstract

The goal of the AFOSR DURIP Grant was to assist the Mathematics Program at ASU in acquiring equipment for an Advanced Graphics Computing Facility. Our computers have made possible a breakthrough in unravelling the topology and geometry of some critical phenomena in turbulence, which closely blend chaotic dynamics with classical moderate turbulence. Interactive graphics visualization enabled us to describe the qualitative global nature of numerical solutions and interpret key features from the huge volume of numerical output.
