The Supernova Problem

Cassiopeia-A

Core-Collapse Supernovae:

  • End of massive stars
  • Birthplace of heavy elements,

neutron stars, black holes …

  • Regulate star formation

Problem: how do they explode?

Open Questions

  • When is the resolution good enough?
  • How does neutrino-driven convection work?
  • What is the main role of turbulence?

Our approach: local and semi-global simulations

Local Simulations

  • Periodic box
  • Anisotropic
  • Mildly compressible
  • Compare different

methods

PPM+HLLC

  • 2x: start to converge
  • 8x: inertial range

Semi-Global Simulations

  • Local simulations: instructive, but very simplified
  • Global simulations: expensive, more difficult to interpret

Semi-global simulations

  • Stationary initial conditions
  • 90º 3D wedge domain
  • Simplified neutrino cooling/

heating

  • Simplified nuclear

dissociation treatment

Typical timescales

  • Low resolution

simulations easier to explode

  • Good convergence of

large scale quantities

  • Caveat: convergence

is going to be worse for nearly-critical models

Conclusions

  • Convergence: large scales converge even at

moderate resolution (∆𝜘 ≲ 2º)

  • Turbulence is only resolved at very high

resolutions (∆𝜘 ≲ 0.1º)

  • Kolmogorov spectrum
  • Turbulence pressure dominates over energy

transfer
