Modeling
the "Perfect Storm" |
Argonne computer scientists run detailed local weather models on
a large-scale testbed computer cluster. These images show two views
of a 20-km-resolution simulation of the "Perfect Storm" that
hit the North Atlantic in October 1991 and inspired a book and movie
of the same name. The top figure depicts atmospheric moisture. The
bottom figure shows rainfall and cloud water.

Modeling
Nuclear Reactor Cores |
Nuclear engineers use advanced computing tools to predict fuel and coolant
temperatures throughout the reactor's core during normal and abnormal
conditions. This image shows the core of a pressurized water reactor. The
colors illustrate temperature around the fuel pins shown as white
circles.

Inside
the Atom |
Argonne Physicists Steven Pieper and Bob Wiringa use Argonne 's parallel
supercomputers to calculate the forces that bind together nucleons – protons
and neutrons – to form atomic nuclei. These images represent different
angular momentum states of the deuteron, a two-body hydrogen nucleus
comprising one proton and one neutron.
