MOVIE GALLERY
The movies are from hydrodynamic and MHD simulations using either
the FLASH or
PLUTO code on a variety of
supercomputers, including the IBM Sp5, Sp6, and the Linux clusters
CLX and BCX hosted at CINECA (Italy),
the Linux clusters hosted at the HPC facility SCAN
of INAF-OAPA (Italy), and the Grid Infrastructure of Consorzio COMETA
(Italy). More details regarding the science can be found by following

The importance of magnetic-field-oriented thermal conduction in the interaction of
SNR shocks with interstellar clouds
(Orlando et al. 2008, ApJ 678, 274) |
|
2.5D MHD simulations of a shock impacting on an isolated gas
cloud, including anisotropic thermal conduction and radiative
cooling. The movies show the evolution of mass density
distribution in log scale for simulations
with different initial magnetic field orientation.

Three-dimensional modeling of the asymmetric
blast wave from the 2006 outburst of RS Ophiuchi: Early X-ray
emission
(Orlando et al. 2009, A&A 493, 1049) |
|
3D hydrodynamic simulations of the blast wave from the 2006
outburst, propagating through the inhomogeneous CSM. The movies
show the evolution of 3D spatial distribution of mass density,
in log scale, and the corresponding evolution of X-ray emission.

(Drake & Orlando 2010, ApJ 720, L195) |
|
3D hydrodynamic simulations of the early blast wave of the 2010
explosion of U Scorpii. The movie shows the first five minutes
of evolution of 3D spatial distribution of mass density, in log
scale. The ejecta material is marked in brown.
