IBM super computer "blue gene" extreme process simulation of supernova

According to the British "New Scientist" magazine, recently, the United States Argonne National Laboratory physicists use IBM super computer "blue gene", extreme physical process simulation of supernova explosion.
The supernova of 1 internal conditions
The internal state of supernova
"Super computer simulation map blue gene" made clear presentation of the mechanism of a "short-lived" supermassive stars of violent death. This picture shows the energy value of supernova core. Different colors represent different entropy and transparency. Scientists by adjusting the color selective transparency, the supernova strip the external layer, revealing its internal state.
2 supernova moment
A supernova moment
This is a type Ia supernova exploded after transient scene. The burst release energy equivalent to 1027 hydrogen bomb, h-bomb and each is equivalent to 10000000 tons of TNT explosive. This violent energy release makes type Ia supernova become burst is one of the most dazzling in the universe, which can be used as a distance indicator in cosmology.
3 supernova
The supernova explosion
This is a supernova explosion scene, is a continuation of the previous picture. The supernova itself lasted less than 5 seconds, but the simulation of the entire process, "blue gene" super computer is used more than 160000 processors, the operation time was 22000000 hours.
The supernova of 4 kernel combustion
The supernova core combustion
This is clearly demonstrated in supernova cores burning, a picture to the left represents the core surface combustion. Another two pictures show the burning speed and enstrophy, describes how the kernel burning throughout the supernova internal circulation.

This picture was taken shortly ignited in the kernel foam flame on the incident after the show, they deviate slightly from the supernova (light blue surface, this super line from a white dwarf star in the center). Buoyancy driven foam flame (yellow and red surface) to the surface of supernova quickly.

The supernova core foam flame
This is the core of foam flame picture one HD close-up. This figure shows the vortex state kernel flame, that at this stage the supernova located, a complex process, turbulent flame kernel foam involved. .
