Using Falcon for Nuclear Salts
Written by: Kelsey Swenson, IIDS Scientific Writing Intern Molten salt reactors are advanced nuclear technologies capable of generating efficient electrical energy. Scientists such as John Russell, Associate Director for University of Idaho’s Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES), use the Falcon supercomputer to work on the fundamental physics behind these new molten salt technologies to…
Falcon Helps to Create 3D Models Of Water Flow Through Sediment
Written by: Kelsey Swenson, IIDS Scientific Writing Intern Falcon’s speed and efficiency enables the Center for Ecohydraulics Research to carve out their own niche in the world of hydraulics. “With Falcon, we can go finer, we can go deeper, and we’re able to not only calculate but also explore how the flow behaves,” says Angel…
Simulating Colliding Black Holes Using Falcon
Written by: Kelsey Swenson, IIDS Scientific Writing Intern As two black holes orbit in space, they emit gravitational waves into the universe. These waves carry energy keeping the black holes apart. But as the waves get stronger, the black holes can spiral towards each other and merge into one giant black hole. In nearby Hanford,…
