Multidimensional Nova Simulations with an Extended Buffer and Lower Initial Mixing Temperatures
Alexander Smith Clark, Michael Zingale
A classical nova is a thermonuclear runaway initiated on a white dwarf accreting solar-like material from its stellar companion. Once the white dwarf accretes enough mass, the pres…

The Challenges of Modeling Astrophysical Reacting Flows
Michael Zingale, Khanak Bhargava, Ryan Brady +5
Stellar evolution is driven by the changing composition of a star from nuclear reactions. At the late stages of evolution and during explosive events, the timescale can be short an…

Strong Coupling of Hydrodynamics and Reactions in Nuclear Statistical Equilibrium for Modeling Convection in Massive Stars
Michael Zingale, Zhi Chen, Eric T. Johnson +2
We build on the simplified spectral deferred corrections (SDC) coupling of hydrodynamics and reactions to handle the case of nuclear statistical equilibrium (NSE) and electron/posi…
