Researchers have developed a supercomputer simulation to visualize turbulence within the interstellar medium with great precision, revealing interactions with magnetic fields.
The model, scalable up to 10,000 units, was created using the SuperMUC-NG supercomputer and can simulate various turbulent processes in space, from our galaxy's magnetic field to the solar wind.
This simulation provides insights into how magnetic fields influence the movement of charged particles in the interstellar medium, contributing to the formation of galaxies and stars.
Future plans include enhancing the simulation's resolution and comparing it with real-world data, potentially using observatories like the Square Kilometre Array for more precise models.
