Visualizing the Radiation of the Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability

Huebl, A.; Pugmire, D.; Schmitt, F.; Pausch, R.; Bussmann, M.

Emerging new technologies in plasma simulations allow tracking billions of particles while computing their radiative spectra. We present a visualization of the relativistic Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability from a simulation performed with the fully relativistic particle-in-cell code PIConGPU powered by 18,000 GPUs on the USA’s fastest supercomputer Titan.
