Hi, readers. I am Doosoo Yoon, who recently has joined Sera’s group. Since I started my academic career in astronomy, I have strongly interested in performing numerical simulations to figure out how astrophysical phenomena can be interpreted. In my first post, I would like to briefly talk about some basic processes of computational astrophysics and mindset for building a Matrix-world, from several articles I’ve read. Conducting research with numerical simulation requires three main components: understanding of dominant physical processes for the problem of interest, programming them with numerical algorithms and utilizing maximum capabilities of the computers for the simulations (Elmegreen 2011). In fact, all theoretical equations need to be approximated,…
