AMReX-Astrophysics Microphysics: A set of microphysics routines for astrophysical simulation codes based on the AMReX library
Astro Microphysics Team, Khanak Bhargava, Abigail Bishop +15
The AMReX-Astrophysics Microphysics library provides a common set of microphysics routines (reaction networks and associated physics, equations of state, and various transport coef…
The Challenges of Modeling Astrophysical Reacting Flows
Michael Zingale, Khanak Bhargava, Ryan Brady +5
Stellar evolution is driven by the changing composition of a star from nuclear reactions. At the late stages of evolution and during explosive events, the timescale can be short an…
Strong Coupling of Hydrodynamics and Reactions in Nuclear Statistical Equilibrium for Modeling Convection in Massive Stars
Michael Zingale, Zhi Chen, Eric T. Johnson +2
We build on the simplified spectral deferred corrections (SDC) coupling of hydrodynamics and reactions to handle the case of nuclear statistical equilibrium (NSE) and electron/posi…
A Framework for Exploring Nuclear Physics Sensitivity in Numerical Simulations
Zhi Chen, Eric T. Johnson, Max Katz +3
We describe the AMReX-Astrophysics framework for exploring the sensitivity of astrophysical simulations to the details of a nuclear reaction network, including the number of nuclei…
