Efficiency Gains from Time Refinement on AMR Meshes and Explicit Timestepping
L. J. Dursi, M. Zingale
Block-structured AMR meshes are often used in astrophysical fluid simulations, where the geometry of the domain is simple. We consider potential efficiency gains for time sub-cycli…

Investigations of Pointwise Ignition of Helium Deflagrations on Neutron Stars
M. Zingale, S. E. Woosley, A. Cumming +7
We look at the spreading of localized temperature perturbations in the accreted fuel layer of a non-rotating neutron star. The pressure at the base of the accreted fuel layer is la…
