Direct Numerical Simulations of Type Ia Supernovae Flames I: The Landau-Darrieus Instability
J. B. Bell, M. S. Day, C. A. Rendleman +2
Planar flames are intrinsically unstable in open domains due to the thermal expansion across the burning front--the Landau-Darrieus instability. This instability leads to wrinkling…
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…
Morphology of Rising Hydrodynamic and Magneto-hydrodynamic Bubbles from Numerical Simulations
K. Robinson, L. J. Dursi, P. M. Ricker +11
Recent Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of galaxy cluster cooling flows have revealed X-ray emission voids of up to 30 kpc in size that have been identified with buoyant, magnet…
On Heavy Element Enrichment in Classical Novae
A. Alexakis, A. C. Calder, A. Heger +10
Many classical nova ejecta are enriched in CNO and Ne. Rosner et al. recently suggested that the enrichment might originate in the resonant interaction between large-scale shear fl…
The Response of Model and Astrophysical Thermonuclear Flames to Curvature and Stretch
L. J. Dursi, M. Zingale, A. C. Calder +11
Critically understanding the `standard candle'-like behavior of Type Ia supernovae requires understanding their explosion mechanism. One family of models for Type Ia Supernovae beg…
