Multidimensional Modeling of Type I X-ray Bursts. I. Two-Dimensional Convection Prior to the Outburst of a Pure Helium Accretor
C. M. Malone, A. Nonaka, A. S. Almgren +2
We present multidimensional simulations of the early convective phase preceding ignition in a Type I X-ray burst using the low Mach number hydrodynamics code, MAESTRO. A low Mach n…

MAESTRO, CASTRO, and SEDONA -- Petascale Codes for Astrophysical Applications
A. Almgren, J. Bell, D. Kasen +6
Performing high-resolution, high-fidelity, three-dimensional simulations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) requires not only algorithms that accurately represent the correct physics,…

Dimension as a Key to the Neutrino Mechanism of Core-Collapse Supernova Explosions
J. Nordhaus, A. Burrows, A. Almgren +1
We explore the dependence on spatial dimension of the viability of the neutrino heating mechanism of core-collapse supernova explosions. We find that the tendency to explode is a m…
