New Approaches for Modeling Type Ia Supernovae
M. Zingale, A. S. Almgren, J. B. Bell +3
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are the largest thermonuclear explosions in the Universe. Their light output can be seen across great distances and has led to the discovery that the ex…
The Physics of Flames in Type Ia Supernovae
M. Zingale, S. E. Woosley, J. B. Bell +2
We extend a low Mach number hydrodynamics method developed for terrestrial combustion, to the study of thermonuclear flames in Type Ia supernovae. We discuss the differences betwee…
Three-dimensional Numerical Simulations of Rayleigh-Taylor Unstable Flames in Type Ia Supernovae
M. Zingale, S. E. Woosley, C. A. Rendleman +2
Flame instabilities play a dominant role in accelerating the burning front to a large fraction of the speed of sound in a Type Ia supernova. We present a three-dimensional numerica…
Direct Numerical Simulations of Type Ia Supernovae Flames II: The Rayleigh-Taylor Instability
J. B. Bell, M. S. Day, C. A. Rendleman +2
A Type Ia supernova explosion likely begins as a nuclear runaway near the center of a carbon-oxygen white dwarf. The outward propagating flame is unstable to the Landau-Darrieus, R…
Direct Numerical Simulations of Type Ia Supernovae Flames I: The Landau-Darrieus Instability
J. B. Bell, M. S. Day, C. A. Rendleman +2
Planar flames are intrinsically unstable in open domains due to the thermal expansion across the burning front--the Landau-Darrieus instability. This instability leads to wrinkling…
