3D Simulations and MLT: I. Renzini's Critique
W. David Arnett, Casey Meakin, Raphael Hirschi +5
Renzini (1987) wrote an influential critique of mixing-length theory (MLT) as used in stellar evolution codes, and concluded that three-dimensional (3D) fluid dynamical simulations…
3D Simulations and MLT: II. Onsager's Ideal Turbulence
W. David Arnett, Raphael Hirschi, Simon W. Campbell +7
We simulate stellar convection at high Reynolds number (Re7000) with causal time stepping but no explicit viscosity. We use the 3D Euler equations with shock capturing (C…
Turbulent Mixing and Nuclear Burning in Stellar Interiors
Miroslav Mocák, Casey Meakin, Simon Wattana Campbell +1
The turbulent burning of nuclei is a common phenomenon in the evolution of stars. Here we examine a challenging case: the merging of the neon and oxygen burning shells in a 23 M$_{…
Progenitors of Core-Collapse Supernovae
Raphael Hirschi, David Arnett, Andrea Cristini +3
Massive stars have a strong impact on their surroundings, in particular when they produce a core-collapse supernova at the end of their evolution. In these proceedings, we review t…
