NuGrid: Toward High Precision Double-Degenerate Merger Simulations with SPH in 3D
Steven Diehl, Christopher L. Fryer, Aimee Hungerford +11
We present preliminary results from recent high-resolution double-degenerate merger simulations with the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) technique. We put particular emphasis o…
