Modeling & Simulation

New resource available to NASA programs: Project Columbia: 10240 SGI Altix

Question before the HMI science Co-I’s:How do we take advantage of this resource to help in enabling “neat results in the

summer of 2008?”

Planned BIG simulations

Answer science questions (guided/ verified by observations):• Search for the genesis of Supergranules• Understanding the near surface magnetic network• Search for the genesis of the near surface shear layer • Understanding the dynamics around Sunspots• Search for the genesis of the Solar dynamo• Understanding differential rotation• Understanding the dynamics in the tachocline neighborhood Provide calibration data:• Interpretation of observations• Local Helioseismology• Global Helioseismology

Missing:• Data assimilation & forecasting capabilities• Link between global and near surface simulations• Link between solar interior, atmosphere & solar wind
