3D hydrodynamics simulations of a 3 core-helium burning star

Simon Blouin, Falk Herwig, Huaqing Mao +2

The inner structure of core-helium burning (CHeB) stars remains uncertain due to the yet unknown nature of mixing at the boundary of their cores. Large convective cores beyond a ba…

3D hydrodynamic simulations of massive main-sequence stars. III. The effect of radiation pressure and diffusion leading to a 1D equilibrium model

Huaqing Mao, Paul Woodward, Falk Herwig +4

We present 3-D hydrodynamical simulations of core convection with a stably stratified envelope of a \unit{25}{\Msun} star in the early phase of the main-sequence. We use the explic…

3D hydrodynamics simulations of core convection in supermassive main-sequence stars

Simon Blouin, Huaqing Mao, Tyrone E. Woods +3

Supermassive stars are Population III stars with masses exceeding that could be the progenitors of the first supermassive black holes. Their interiors are in a re…

3D hydrodynamics simulations of internal gravity waves in red giant branch stars

Simon Blouin, Huaqing Mao, Falk Herwig +3

We present the first 3D hydrodynamics simulations of the excitation and propagation of internal gravity waves (IGWs) in the radiative interiors of low-mass stars on the red giant b…

3D hydrodynamic simulations of massive main-sequence stars II. Convective excitation and spectra of internal gravity waves

William Thompson, Falk Herwig, Paul R. Woodward +4

Recent photometric observations of massive stars have identified a low-frequency power excess which appears as stochastic low-frequency variability in light curve observations. We…

3D hydrodynamic simulations of massive main-sequence stars. I. Dynamics and mixing of convection and internal gravity waves

Falk Herwig, Paul R. Woodward, Huaqing Mao +6

We performed 3D hydrodynamic simulations of the inner radial extent of a star in the early phase of the main sequence and investigate core con…

Dynamics in a stellar convective layer and at its boundary: Comparison of five 3D hydrodynamics codes

R. Andrassy, J. Higl, H. Mao +18

Our ability to predict the structure and evolution of stars is in part limited by complex, 3D hydrodynamic processes such as convective boundary mixing. Hydrodynamic simulations he…

3D1D hydro-nucleosynthesis simulations. I. Advective-reactive post-processing method and its application to H ingestion into He-shell flash convection in rapidly accreting white dwarfs

David Stephens, Falk Herwig, Paul Woodward +3

We present two mixing models for post-processing of 3D hydrodynamic simulations applied to convective-reactive i-process nucleosynthesis in a rapidly accreting white dwarf (RAWD) w…

Simulating 3-D Stellar Hydrodynamics using PPM and PPB Multifluid Gas Dynamics on CPU and CPU+GPU Nodes

Paul R. Woodward, Pei-Hung Lin, Huaqing Mao +2

The special computational challenges of simulating 3-D hydrodynamics in deep stellar interiors are discussed, and numerical algorithmic responses described. Results of recent simul…

H-He Shell Interactions and Nucleosynthesis in Massive Population III Stars

Ondrea Clarkson, Falk Herwig, Robert Andrassy +3

We report on our ongoing investigation into the nucleosynthetic and hydrodynamic nature of mixing at the interface between the H- and He-convection zones in massive Pop III stars.…
