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…
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$_{…
Beyond Mixing-length Theory: a step toward 321D
W. David Arnett, Casey Meakin, Maxime Viallet +3
We examine the physical basis for algorithms to replace mixing-length theory (MLT) in stellar evolutionary computations. Our 321D procedure is based on numerical solutions of the N…
Compressible Hydrodynamic Mean-Field Equations in Spherical Geometry and their Application to Turbulent Stellar Convection Data
Miroslav Mocák, Casey Meakin, Maxime Viallet +1
We present a statistical analysis of turbulent convection in stars within our Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) framework in spherical geometry which we derived from first pri…
