Project Details

Description

Core-collapse supernovae are the death throes of massive stars. They are the single most important source of elements in the Universe. Understanding how they occur is one of the most important unsolved problems in astrophysics. The focus of this project is to perform multidimensional, multiphysics simulations of core-collapse supernovae in an effort to ascertain the supernova explosion mechanism.
