"Information compiled within this office not only helps us understand how
our planet's habitability are affected by cosmic events, but also provides
knowledge essential for future human and robotic exploration ," said Richard
Fisher, director, Heliophysics Division.
Professor Rajesh Bhaskaran, of the Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering department at Cornell University, who was an early adopter
of FlowLab , notes, "The streamlined interface of FlowLab 1. These included Cornell
University, Iowa State University , Penn State University, and the
University of Iowa in the U. Using
Fluent's software, product development, design and research engineers
build virtual prototypes and simulate the performance of proposed and
existing designs, allowing them to improve design quality while
reducing cost and speeding time to market.

Narrated by actor, director and producer Robert Redford, the planetarium
show incorporates NASA satellite data, cutting-edge astrophysics research and
state -of-the-art supercomputing.
To perform the enormously complex calculations and render the scenes of
interstellar collisions, the space show's production team relied on an array
of graphic workstations , using hundreds of processors to create the graphic
images, and a state-of-the art system to view the high-resolution graphic
images on the Hayden planetarium dome.

"This show will provide audiences perspectives on the challenges of
exploring the universe beyond our planet, as we move forward with the
commitment to exploration and discovery in implementing America's Vision for
Space Exploration," said NASA's Chief of Strategic Communications Joe Davis.
The Vision for Space Exploration is a bold new course into the cosmos, a
journey that will return the space shuttle safely to flight, complete the
construction of the International Space Station, take humans back to the moon
and eventually to Mars and beyond.flowlab.

Cosmic Collisions highlights catastrophic planetary impacts and merging of
massive galaxies. This interface
greatly reduces the learning curve requirement for a student to become
productive with CFD software, which is critically important for
professors wishing to augment an existing lecture-based fluids course,
or a laboratory course where there is little time available to become
familiar with a new software package. Four new exercises of the fifteen available have been
developed under U.
