Bubble Cavity Simulation Receives Gordon Bell Award
IBM Blue Gene systems helped to determine the structure of the human genome, copied brain power, launched aircraft, determined tumors, predicted climate changes, determined deposits of combustible minerals, etc.
Now we can add 15,000 bubbles to this list. Sounds frivolous? But in fact, this study won the Gordon Bell Award , awarded for achievements in high-performance computing.
Why were bubbles chosen for the simulation? When bubbles collapse upon cavitation , they can be very destructive.

Looking at the propeller of the motorboat, you can see what damage the cavitation bubbles cause to the metal.
Scientists from the Swiss Higher Technical School Zurich (ETH Zurich) and IBM Research , together with the Livermore National Laboratory. E. Lawrence (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, LLNL) did not just want to show modern computational capabilities in the field of hydrodynamics. Collapsing vesicles can be useful in surgery: for crushing kidney stones or destroying cancer cells.
A simulation of 15,000 bubbles was carried out on the IBM Blue Gene / Q platform, utilizing a computational power of 14.4 petaflops.
