News at the MPCDF

At MPCDF a new HPC cluster capable of handling highly data-intensive calculations has been deployed for the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (Hamburg) and the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (Dresden). It allows scientists to run advanced simulations for their research or quickly analyse large amounts of experimental data.

A team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Dynamics and Self-Organization, the MPCDF and INRIA (Nancy, France) have developed a new open-source computer-simulation code named TurTLE for massively parallel simulations of turbulent flows. The code has recently been employed for studying the geometry of turbulent mixing in fluid flows; the results were published as a “featured article” in Nature Communications.
