OP -- We're hoping for a third post from you. We here pick over the bones of the past. Specifically the Dieselpunk era. You are young enough that you should be looking forward.
M-B has sunk costs in their bazillion dollar facility, meanwhile Open Source and commodity hardware advance inexorably. In addition to OpenVDB (not here yet) and the X-15 (not here yet) there is stuff further out.
Knots in chaotic waves
Quote:
Waves surround us all the time: sound waves in the noise around us, light waves enabling us to see... Most significantly, the whirls and eddies form lines in space called vortices. Along these lines, the wave intensity is zero, and natural wave fields - light, sound and quantum matter - are filled with a dense tangle of these null filaments.
Mark Dennis, Professor of Theoretical Physics in the School of Physics, said: "Although the computer models were framed in the language of quantum waves, these results are expected to be completely general, suggesting a new understanding of the complexity of the three-dimensional optical and acoustic landscapes that surround us every day."
More than 40 years ago, Bristol physicians Professor Sir Michael Berry and Professor John Nye discovered vortices were originally understood to be a crucial part of wave phenomena.
