Recording of a plenary presentation during the PASC15 Conference. www.pasc15.org Abstract Exascale computing will enable combustion simulations in parameter regimes relevant to next-generation combustors burning alternative fuels. The first principles direct numerical simulations (DNS) are needed to provide the underlying science base required to develop vastly more accurate predictive combustion models used ultimately to design […]
Video: Computational Challenges in Macroeconomics, Thomas Sargent (New York University, USA)
Recording of a plenary presentation during the PASC15 Conference. www.pasc15.org Abstract Modern macroeconomic theory has provided many qualitative insights into the functioning of financial and labor markets in our complex modern economies. But determining the quantitative importance of frequently countervailing forces requires much more than the pencil and paper methods used by economic theorists. My […]

Video: The Great Leap, Bjorn Stevens (Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology, Germany)

Recording of a plenary presentation during the PASC15 Conference. www.pasc15.org Abstract Increasing computational power and advances in algorithms have made it possible to resolve an ever increasing fraction of the scales of atmospheric motion. While it remains inconceivable to resolve all the relevant scales of motion we are currently in the midst of a great […]
