A well-balanced scheme for the simulation tool-kit A-MaZe: implementation, tests, and first applications to stellar structure
M. V. Popov, R. Walder, D. Folini +6
Characterizing stellar convection in multiple dimensions is a topic at the forefront of stellar astrophysics. Numerical simulations are an essential tool for this task. We present…
3D Simulations and MLT: I. Renzini's Critique
W. David Arnett, Casey Meakin, Raphael Hirschi +5
Renzini (1987) wrote an influential critique of mixing-length theory (MLT) as used in stellar evolution codes, and concluded that three-dimensional (3D) fluid dynamical simulations…
The First 3D Simulations of Carbon Burning in a Massive Star
Andrea Cristini, Casey Meakin, Raphael Hirschi +3
We present the first detailed three-dimensional hydrodynamic implicit large eddy simulations of turbulent convection for carbon burning. The simulations start with an initial radia…
Lithium depletion in solar-like stars: effect of overshooting based on realistic multi-dimensional simulations
I. Baraffe, J. Pratt, T. Goffrey +5
We study lithium depletion in low-mass and solar-like stars as a function of time, using a new diffusion coefficient describing extra-mixing taking place at the bottom of a convect…
Extreme value statistics for two-dimensional convective penetration in a pre-Main Sequence star
J. Pratt, I. Baraffe, T. Goffrey +5
We examine a penetration layer formed between a central radiative zone and a large convection zone in the deep interior of a young low-mass star. Using the Multidimensional Stellar…
Spherical-shell boundaries for two-dimensional compressible convection in a star
J. Pratt, I. Baraffe, T. Goffrey +6
Context: We study the impact of two-dimensional spherical shells on compressible convection. Realistic profiles for density and temperature from a one-dimensional stellar evolution…
