This project seeks to resolve an outstanding problem in the formation of cosmic structure: what is the nature of galactic winds, and what physical mechanisms are responsible for driving them? Answering these questions requires computer simulations of greater resolution than have previously been possible, coupled to next-generation telescopic observations. This research aims to develop novel methods to enable the required simulations, leveraging new hardware architectures at Australian supercomputer facilities, and to use these approaches to solve a major open problem in astrophysics, open new frontiers in simulation, and multiply the return on Australia's investment in both computer facilities and telescopes that will study galactic winds.

该项目旨在解决宇宙结构形成中的一个突出问题：银河风的性质是什么，以及什么物理机制负责驱动它们？解决这些问题需要比以前更高分辨率的计算机模拟，再加上下一代望远镜观测。这项研究的目的是开发新的方法，使所需的模拟，利用新的硬件架构在澳大利亚的超级计算机设施，并使用这些方法来解决一个重大的天体物理学开放的问题，开辟新的前沿模拟，并成倍增加澳大利亚的投资回报在计算机设施和望远镜，将研究银河风。
