Originally published at: Supercomputer Helps Provide Insight Into Mysterious Black Hole Relativistic Jets | NVIDIA Technical Blog
Researchers from University of Amsterdam and Northwestern University used the GPU-accelerated Blue Waters supercomputer to produce the first ever simulation to demonstrate that relativistic jets follow along with the precession of the tilted accretion disk around the black hole. “Understanding how rotating black holes drag the space-time around them and how this process affects what…
