Mesoscale Turbulence in Type Ia Supernova Deflagrations: Buoyancy-Driven Fuel Heating and Prospects for Delayed-Detonations

Ezra Brooker, Andrey Zhiglo, Tomasz Plewa

The aim of this work is to characterize the thermodynamic state of fuel mixed into the turbulent flame brush in the context of the Zel'dovich deflagration-to-detonation transition…
