Revolutionizing Wind Turbulence Prediction with Supercomputing Technology

The video discusses the challenges faced in civil engineering due to wind turbulence, highlighting historical doubts from 1940. It introduces a supercomputer at Nottingham University, capable of performing 3 trillion calculations per second, which is being used to model wind turbulence and advance research in astrophysics and chemistry.

What challenges still exist in civil engineering related to high winds and bridges?

In addition to turbulence modeling, what other fields can benefit from the supercomputer's capabilities?
