First-Principles Turbulence-Driven Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition Mechanism for Near-Chandrasekhar Mass White Dwarf Progenitors
Krut Patel, Akshay Dongre, Robert Fisher +4
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) play an important role throughout astrophysics, most notably as standardizable cosmological candles. Yet, their stellar progenitors and explosion mechan…
A Unified Mechanism for Unconfined Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition in Terrestrial Chemical Systems and Type Ia Supernovae
Alexei Y. Poludnenko, Jessica Chambers, Kareem Ahmed +2
The nature of type Ia supernovae (SNIa) - thermonuclear explosions of white dwarf stars - is an open question in astrophysics. Virtually all existing theoretical models of normal,…
Three-Dimensional Delayed-Detonation Model of Type Ia Supernova
Vadim N. Gamezo, Alexei M. Khokhlov, Elaine S. Oran
We study a Type Ia supernova explosion using large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulations based on reactive fluid dynamics with a simplified mechanism for nuclear reactions…
Deflagrations and Detonations in Thermonuclear Supernovae
Vadim N. Gamezo, Alexei M. Khokhlov, Elaine S. Oran
We study a type Ia supernova explosion using three-dimensional numerical simulations based on reactive fluid dynamics. We consider a delayed-detonation model that assumes a deflagr…
