SN Ia DDT Explosions Powered by the Zeldovich Reactivity Gradient Mechanism
Ezra Brooker, Tomasz Plewa, Daniel Fenn
The aim of this work is to identify and explain the necessary conditions required for an energetic explosion of a Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf. We construct and analyze weakly co…
Detonability of white dwarf plasma: turbulence models at low densities
Daniel Fenn, Tomasz Plewa
We study the conditions required to produce self-sustained detonations in turbulent, carbon-oxygen degenerate plasma at low densities. We perform a series of three-dimensional hydr…
No double detonations but core carbon ignitions in high-resolution, grid-based simulations of binary white dwarf mergers
D. Fenn, T. Plewa, A. Gawryszczak
We study the violent phase of the merger of massive binary white dwarf systems. Our aim is to characterize the conditions for explosive burning to occur, and identify a possible ex…
Plasma Viscosity with Mass Transport in Spherical ICF Implosion Simulations
Erik L. Vold, Archis S. Joglekar, Mario I. Ortega +3
The effects of viscosity and small-scale atomic-level mixing on plasmas in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) currently represent challenges in ICF research. Many current ICF hydrod…
