Recently we have performed the world's first calculations of star cluster formation that incorporate the effects of magnetic fields and radiation. This research has recently been brought back to Australia and the goal of this proposal is to extend our competitive edge in this area. Whilst calculations of the formation of stars gives us fundamental understanding about a very basic physical process in the universe (namely, the conversion of gas into stars), the equations we solve and the methods used to solve them, are the same as those used to describe many gases and fluids on earth. Solving these equations in difficult astrophysical regimes develops new methodology which translates readily to earth-bound problems.

最近，我们进行了世界上第一次计算星星集群的形成，包括磁场和辐射的影响。这项研究最近被带回澳大利亚，这项建议的目的是扩大我们在这一领域的竞争优势。 虽然对恒星形成的计算使我们对宇宙中一个非常基本的物理过程（即气体转化为恒星）有了基本的了解，但我们求解的方程和用于求解它们的方法与用于描述地球上许多气体和流体的方程相同。解决这些方程在困难的天体物理制度发展新的方法，很容易转化为地球上的问题。
