Abstract
Fundamental processes in the dynamics of the interstellar medium, namely, galactic wind, i.e., ejections of interstellar matter from central regions of galaxies, which are presumably caused by the formation of supernovae, are mathematically modeled in detail on high-performance parallel computer systems. The mathematical simulation is based on a kinetically consistent gasdynamic approach developed for such class of problems in astrophysics. A kinetically consistent algorithm is well adapted to the architecture of high-performance computer systems with massive parallelism, so that complex large-scale astrophysical phenomena can be efficiently studied with a high resolution. The approach, method, and algorithms are described, and numerical results are presented.
