Dynamics of Laterally Propagating Flames in X-ray Bursts. II. Realistic Burning & Rotation
A. Harpole, N. M. Ford, K. Eiden +4
We continue to investigate two-dimensional laterally propagating flames in type I X-ray bursts using fully compressible hydrodynamics simulations. In the current study we relax pre…

Dynamics of Laterally Propagating Flames in X-ray Bursts. I. Burning Front Structure
Kiran Eiden, Michael Zingale, Alice Harpole +3
We investigate the structure of laterally-propagating flames through the highly-stratified burning layer in an X-ray burst. Two-dimensional hydrodynamics simulations of flame propa…

Toward Resolved Simulations of Burning Fronts in Thermonuclear X-ray Bursts
M. Zingale, K. Eiden, Y. Cavecchi +9
We discuss the challenges of modeling X-ray bursts in multi-dimensions, review the different calculations done to date, and discuss our new set of ongoing simulations. We also desc…
