Modelling Supernova Explosions

There is a great deal of physics that one must include in a realistic model for core-collapse supernova, including neutrino transport, nucleosynthesis, nuclear equation of state, and general relativity to name but a few. Our approach in this work, however, is focussed soley on the post-shock convection. For this project we neglect the complicated microphysics in favor of high-resolution, three-dimensional hydrodynamics.
