1) Biomechanical simulations using supercomputers can help predict the outcomes of new medical therapies like high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for treating cancers.
2) Numerical models incorporate patient medical imaging data and simulate how ultrasound waves propagate and create focal points of high pressure for thermal ablation of tumors, accounting for interference at tissue interfaces.
3) Large supercomputers with over 640,000 cores and capable of 10 petaflops are needed to model complex fluid-structure interactions in living tissues at multiple scales using fully Eulerian methods.
